Ending Homelessness for Women

Last year, CFUW/Kanata made a significant donation to Cornerstone, and Sue Garvey agreed to come back to us with a progress report. She will be at our upcoming monthly meeting. Pack a bag-lunch and bring along any of your friends who may be interested in joining us.

Cornerstone is a Community Ministry of the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa. It provides emergency shelter and affordable supportive housing for 170 women at five locations in Ottawa. In addition, Cornerstone offers an outreach program for past residents. We are happy to announce the successful completion in November 2018 of our new 42-unit supportive affordable housing development in Ottawa’s west end.
