MHI Ottawa

Multifaith Housing Initiative (MHI) was founded in 2001 when Christian, Jewish, and Muslim communities in Ottawa united to address homelessness and the lack of affordable housing. Over time, more faith groups joined, and MHI became a federally registered charitable organization. Today, with over 70 faith-based members, MHI is dedicated to creating inclusive, affordable housing communities. 

In fall 2024, GHC officially amalgamated with MHI, expanding MHI’s housing portfolio and increasing its reach to over 1,000 tenants across nine housing communities. This amalgamation strengthened efforts to provide long-term, affordable housing solutions in Ottawa. MHI continues to grow with Odenak Dream LeBreton already under construction.
