Over 1/3 of homeless people in Ottawa are Indigenous. Wabano has been providing homelessness services to our community for over 20 years. But both “houselessness” and homelessness have negative connotationsat Wabano, we see our role more as “path finders”.

- Maintain good relationships with these landlords and property managers.
- Do initial site visits of available units and create “postings” for distribution to Wabano and Minwaashin Lodge Case Managers that clearly and visually describe the unit.
- Offer support to teams’ Case Managers by:
- Helping them identify available properties that correspond to clients’ criteria,
- Being the connector to the landlord and property managers, starting the client off on the right path, and
