Carty House – A First Home & Helping Hand for Female Refugees in Ottawa

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.

We Are Stronger Together

As we all continue to move forward, Carty House has never backed away from its mission to provide housing for refugee women who arrived alone in Canada. It has been quite a challenging time for everyone. Thank you for your continued concern for our residents. Your support reminds them that they are not alone.

We continue to take important precautions to keep our residents, volunteers, and staff, safe.

As always, if you are moved to support these women and the mission of Carty House, donations are gratefully accepted.

Be safe, everyone.

Although this interview is from May 2020, it truly represents how Carty House residents feel about the support they continue to receive.

CBC was interested in highlighting how lesser-known populations were dealing with the pandemic, so they reached out to us. In the midst of the challenges we were facing, we thought that it was important to share how the community was rallying around our female refugees. Our supporters continue to give so generously! It’s an uplifting story in these challenging times!
