Homelessness, Affordable Housing and Newcomers – Identifying Issues and
Priorities

An informal discussion to be held Wednesday, June 24, 9:30 – 11:00 am

 

Welcoming Ottawa Week (WOW) is an annual, week-long series of dialogues,
cultural and celebratory events, sports activities, documentary screenings,
and other fun events designed to convey the genuine welcome and hospitality
of Ottawans to newcomers, while providing opportunities for quality
interactions between residents, old and new. To learn more about WOW please

On Wednesday, June 24, join others for an informal discussion on
homelessness, affordable housing and newcomers. An end to homelessness means
quickly helping individuals and family members with emergency shelter when
they first become homeless, then assisting them in finding appropriate
housing. It also means assisting those who do have housing but are living
“at risk” of losing it. Are there particular challenges facing newcomers
(immigrants and/or refugees) who are homeless or vulnerably housed? What do
we know, and what do we need to know? 

 

All are welcome to the West End Well (café) for an exploratory discussion on
issues and priorities related to homelessness, services, and newcomers’
access to affordable housing in Ottawa. Please spread the word! To assist in
planning, please RSVP by email (info at endhomelessnessottawa.ca), telephone
(613-241-1573 x 314) or via Facebook:
