Race to End Homelessness

“This event aims to educate, engage, and unite the community around one critical goal: a future where everyone has a home.”

The Affordable Housing Group will be participating in this 5 Km walk/run, organized by the Alliance to End Homelessness. We will be raising funds for Multifaith Housing Initiative, a Heartwood House member group. Your donations will be gratefully received! 

In a city as vibrant as Ottawa, no one should be without a safe, affordable place to call home. Yet every day, more individuals and families are pushed to the margins by a growing housing crisis.

That’s why the Alliance to End Homelessness Ottawa, together with its members and partners, is launching the Race to End Homelessness — a powerful new 10K, 5K, and 1K run/walk event that aims to educate, engage, and unite the community around one critical goal: a future where everyone has a home.

Why We Run

Each step taken on October 4 will shine a spotlight on the urgent need for safe, affordable housing and the real stories behind the statistics. As a participant you will not only experience a powerful day of action and awareness — you’ll become part of the solution.
