Catch the ace with ssvp!
The Ottawa Central Council (OCC) of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul launched Catch the Ace to raise between $250,000 to $300,000 towards four to six Indigenous-specific units at Dream LeBreton Flats. Studies have shown that Indigenous People are overrepresented in Ottawa's homeless population.
The down payments on these units will help to lower rental fees to be equal to shelter allowances provided by Ontario social assistance programs. Tenants will be able to use their basic needs allowances for food, clothing, transportation and other necessities.
The SSVP will provide ongoing support to those tenants according to its mission.
