CCOC

Tomorrow, November 22, is National Housing Day. This year, we're reminded that housing is health, and the foundation of a thriving, inclusive, and diverse community. We're proud of the work we have accomplished and commit to the work ahead. Everyone deserves a safe, stable home.

A little rain couldn't stop us from touring CCOC homes! ☔️🏠 CCOC and @Cahdco hosted a walking tour for @CMHC_ca's Advancing team. It was great showing them CCOC projects that have put CMHC funds to good use - including our Armstrong/Carruthers properties under construction! 🛠️

Last week, a small but mighty team from CCOC and @Cahdco had a great time with @ONPHA at #ONPHAConference! From learning sessions to sharing our Housing Forever Bonds journey with @OttCLT and @TapestryCapital, we're grateful for the insights, connections, and inspiration. 🏠

CCOC and @OttCLT's Housing Forever Bonds: LAUNCHED ✅ Thank you to everyone who came out to support affordable housing in our community, like @_MarkSutcliffe, @CentretownCHC, @UnitedWay, and more. There is no health without housing. Visit housingforeverbonds.ca to invest! 🏠

On Friday, members of the CCOC team, along with @SWCHC, @CentretownCHC, and @OttawaPolice reached out to neighbours in our community with a collaborative community response. We provided mental health support, general resources, and even snacks! 🍎 Reach out for more resources ☺️

Stopping the loss of affordable housing is as critical as building new affordable housing. Stopping illegal or unnecessary renovictions before they happen is a key tool in our prevention toolbox. Our remarks to Ottawa's Planning Committee: endhomelessnessottawa.ca/ottawa_renovat…
