The need for shelter continues to rise, especially as we enter the winter months. COVID-19 does not seem to be going away any time soon, “We’re committed to ensuring no woman/person is left behind,” says Sarah Davis, executive director of Cornerstone Housing for Women. “Every person in Ottawa deserves a dignified place to live and that’s what we aim to do every day.”

“We’re grateful to be returning back to our neighbourhood, in a building known to us,” says Davis. “These three moves would not have been possible without the City staff, our dedicated staff team, who continue to provide quality care to vulnerable women amongst the challenges of working frontline in a pandemic, and all of the volunteers and community partners who helped make these moves successful. We’d also like to thank the community for welcoming and supporting us throughout these moves.”

Due to COVID-19 safety regulations, and the rapidly spreading omicron variant we kindly request that media book a time for any interviews with our Executive Director, Sarah Davis on January 13th between 10:30 am - 1:00 pm.
