Brighter Futures Start With Community

Across Ottawa, over 33,000 people call Ottawa Community Housing (OCH) home. These communities are full of potential; children eager to learn, youth dreaming about their futures and residents working hard to build better lives.

But too often, opportunities that many take for granted remain out of reach. That’s where the OCH Foundation steps in.

Through community-driven programs, the OCH Foundation helps remove barriers and create pathways for residents to grow, connect and succeed.

Opening Doors for Children and Youth

Your support helps ensure that children living in OCH communities can access arts, sports and recreation programs that build confidence, friendships and a sense of belonging.

It also helps empower youth to imagine bigger futures through mentorship, leadership programs, and education supports that encourage them to pursue their goals.

Strengthening Communities

Your support helps strengthen entire communities. From food security initiatives like Tomorrow Ready to community-building programs, the OCH Foundation works alongside partners to ensure residents have the resources they need to thrive.

These programs are designed with residents in mind, responding directly to their feedback, needs and priorities within OCH communities. Because when communities are supported, everyone thrives.
