Options Bytown is a non-profit organization
that provides HousingPlus services in Ottawa, combining affordable housing with on-site counselling, training and other services for
people who need help to live independently.  
We help people who face social isolation and other complex challenges – individuals who may have very low incomes, a history of
homelessness or special needs that may relate
to mental illness, HIV/AIDS or substance use.

HousingPlus, also known as "supportive housing", reduces reliance on costly emergency, health and social services and, more importantly, helps people to be strong and successful members of the community. Since they now have housing and on-site support, tenants build relationships and a sense of community within their buildings and are encouraged to contribute to the health and safety of their neighbourhoods.

We encourage you to learn more about Options Bytown so that you too can become part of the HousingPlus equation.
