The City of Ottawa has transformed a former retirement home in the west end into the Corkstown Transitional Housing Program, a 170-unit facility designed to support families experiencing homelessness on their journey to permanent housing. Located at 1 Corkstown Road, the building opened Monday and offers not only a safe place to stay but also a variety of support services, including interpretation, job training, immigration assistance, and connections to community resources.
The city emphasized that transitional housing is a temporary step, providing essential tools for families to achieve long-term stability. “Transitional housing goes beyond merely providing a safe place to stay,” the city noted in a release. “It incorporates a residential component coupled with a range of onsite supports designed to address the diverse needs of families.” Staff are available on-site 24/7 to assist residents.
While the program is intended to ease families’ transition to permanent housing, the city is also encouraging community members to welcome the new residents as neighbors. Those wishing to help are asked to donate to local charities, as on-site donations are restricted for health and safety reasons.
Since early 2022, the city has helped over 840 families secure long-term housing, with approximately 330 families still experiencing homelessness in Ottawa. The Corkstown program aims to provide a supportive, secure environment for families as they work toward a stable future.
