Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Minister of Infrastructure and Communities
- We urge you to commit to a long-term, permanent solution providing shelter services to women experiencing homelessness in Ottawa;
- Cornerstone Housing for Women has lost its temporary shelter space and urgently seeks a new space in a short time frame;
- This is unacceptable and funding is essential to support Cornerstone in providing a stable, supportive shelter space for women and gender-diverse individuals in need of shelter in Ottawa; and
- Cornerstone needs funding immediately from the National Housing Co-Investment Fund (NHCF) which recently committed to $750 million in new funding, as well as $250 million to support the construction, repair, and operating costs of transitional housing and shelter spaces for women and children fleeing violence.
