Housing Link

JHS Ottawa, in partnership with the City of Ottawa, provides individualized targeted housing supports to chronically and episodically homeless men exiting correctional institutions and other facilities. The program is strength- based, and low –threshold in that there is no prerequisite for participation beyond a history of homelessness. Men released from jail, correctional centres, and federal institutions, including those released at court through the forensic services of the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre are eligible for this program. In-reach services are provided at justice setting in Ottawa (including the courts, the remand centre and residential facilities) and referrals are accepted by phone and correspondence from provincial and federal institutions. The goal of the program is to divert moderate to high-acuity homeless men away from long term shelter stays by linking them to stable housing and supports of their choice in the community.
