Building a Sustainable Future: The Role of the Housing and Homelessness Leadership Table in Shaping Ottawa’s Housing Strategy.

The Pop-up Lab on Housing and Homelessness at the University of Ottawa invites you to a conference on housing and homelessness in Ottawa.

Our invited speaker, Kaite Burkholder Harris, is the co-chair of the Housing and Homelessness Leadership Table (HHLT) and serves as executive director of the Alliance to End Homelessness Ottawa. She will present an overview of the HHLT which is a collaborative initiative developed through a co-design process between the City of Ottawa’s Housing Services and the housing and homelessness sector over the past two years. Her presentation will highlight the co-design process of the 10-Year Housing and Homelessness Plan, outlining key strategies as well as the the HHLT’s ongoing advisory role in ensuring its effective implementation.

The HHLT is a collaborative initiative developed through a co-design process between the City of Ottawa’s Housing Services and the housing and homelessness sector over the past two years. As an Advisory Committee approved by City Council, the HHLT is tasked with planning, designing and overseeing the implementation of an integrated housing and homelessness system. This includes working with related sectors to ensure access to affordable, suitable and adequate housing while actively reducing homelessness.
