Multifaith Housing Initiative – MHI

Multifaith Housing Initiative (MHI) exists to build affordable housing that helps fix Ottawa’s housing crisis and gets at-risk people into secure, safe homes. You don’t need us to tell you about housing issues and homelessness in our communities, you can see it for yourself.  Traditional practices have not been working… so MHI has adopted a different approach. We are a coalition of faith groups who work with local businesses, civil society, the City of Ottawa and federal/provincial governments to build and house our communities for the future. This new way of working has created homes for more than 400 people, with more on the way. It has opened up new ways to gather the commitment, skills and resources that build homes and strengthen communities. To have a safe, secure, affordable home is life changing.

MHI owns a total of 134 units, housing between 300 and 400 people
