Welcome to Cornerstone!

Cornerstone provides emergency shelter and supportive housing for homeless women in Ottawa.

      Since 1983, Cornerstone has been working closely with the municipal, provincial and federal governments, local businesses, community and church groups, donors and volunteers. We offer a wide range of services to assist homeless women to seek healing and new opportunities.

     Although almost 1500 women become homeless in Ottawa each year, Cornerstone can only help approximately 500 women due to shortage of space. Without Cornerstone, many would be living on the street or in very unsafe living conditions.

     There are many ways you can be a part of the Cornerstone solution for homeless women in Ottawa. Browse through our web site to learn more!

                                 A Journey of Hope

     On January 21st, 2010, Cornerstone launched A Journey of Hope, our campaign to raise funds to help build 42 new units of affordable housing for women and seniors at risk of homelessness.  

      The Grey Sisters of the Immaculate Conception attended and announced  that they will be generously contributing 1 million dollars to the campaign.
