A welcoming community where refugee women have access to a safe and supportive first home.

As the only house dedicated to refugee women in Ottawa, Carty House provides a first home and a helping hand to refugee women in need in the Ottawa area. We assist them in pursuing their claims and adjusting to their new life in Canada. Carty House not only provides them housing, but also the various supports and resources that each woman needs to rebuild her life in her new home country.

Carty House in the News!

June 2025

We are honoured to share this story, from the UN Refugee Agency, about our past-resident Pamella!

Pamella represents so many women who have called Carty House their first home in Canada.
Our residents, past and present, inspire us daily with their courage, resilience, and hope.

Thank you for supporting our work.
We can’t do it without you!
