OCH FOUNDATION

PROGRAMS

At the OCH Foundation, we connect tenants living in Ottawa Community Housing (OCH) with free programs and opportunities that strengthen education, employment, community engagement, and overall well-being. Guided by empathy and collaboration, we work alongside tenants and partners to help build thriving communities with equitable access to opportunity.
