About MHI
Thousands of individuals and families are without permanent homes or adequate temporary living facilities in Ottawa. How do we make a difference in our community? We look beyond city shelters, and into the future. We talk to people to find out how they live and what they need to feel healthy, safe, empowered, and successful. We design solutions based on long-term needs.
In 2001, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Ottawa and other Christian churches came together with Jewish and Muslim communities to take action against the rising problem of homelessness and lack of affordable housing in the city of Ottawa.
Multifaith Housing Initiative of Ottawa was established as a Canadian nonprofit charitable organization in 2002, which has grown into a coalition of over 70 faith communities including Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindu, Unitarians, Baha’i and other faiths from across the city of Ottawa. These members are dedicated to achieving MHI’s goal to create more affordable housing in Ottawa while promoting tolerance and respect among residents of all faiths.
