10-Year Housing and Homelessness Plan (2026-2035)
Ottawa’s 10-Year Housing and Homelessness Plan (2026-2035) (10-Year Plan) has been released. It was approved by City Council on April 8, 2026. This is the third iteration of the plan since 2014. It builds on past progress and focuses on making Ottawa a community where everyone has access to the housing and supports they need to thrive.
The 10-Year Plan was co-designed by the City of Ottawa and the Housing and Homelessness Leadership Table. It was informed by data including the 2024 Housing Needs Assessment and 2024 Point-in-Time Count, as well as extensive engagement with sector leaders, members of the public and people with lived and living experience. Multiple engagement sessions occurred and key learnings are summarized in the Five Year Review of Ottawa’s 10-Year Housing and Homelessness Plan What We Learned Report.
The 10-Year Plan focuses on addressing the housing and homelessness needs of people with low-to-moderate incomes across Ottawa and spans the housing and homelessness spectrum from unsheltered homelessness through to affordable rental housing. It remains committed to three overarching priorities: everyone has a home; people get the support they need; and we work together. Within these priorities, there are seven goals supported by 18 objectives, outcomes and key performance indicators. The 10-Year Plan represents a renewed commitment to collaboration, equity and evidence-informed action.
