About the ATEHO
The Alliance to End Homelessness Ottawa is a member-driven coalition of over 80 organizations working together to end homelessness through advocacy, coordination, and mobilization.
The Alliance emerged in the late 1980s from community members who were concerned about growing homelessness in Ottawa. Since then, the Alliance has worked collaboratively to research and understand homelessness, advocate for structural change, and end homelessness.
We anchor the big picture - connecting people, programs, and policies - so the whole community can end homelessness together.Â
