This week, Rev Eric and a few First U leaders met with Justin Marchand from the Ontario Aboriginal Housing Services (OAHS) on our campus for a preliminary meeting.
We learned that:
- OAHS welcomes people of all backgrounds to live in their buildings.
- OAHS would offer a range of affordable housing in a building on our campus from deeply affordable to "rent to income" to just below market rent.
- OAHS owns a fair number of multiple unit dwellings across Ontario and is experienced in property management.
- OAHS has experience in working with local service providers to offer supports to residents in their buildings.
- Several of OAHS' buildings have daycares located in them which is considered a support service to parents attending school or working.
- OAHS controls their own application process. This means that First U members could apply to live in their building, if they qualify as low income households.
- OAHS has connections with Ottawa area Indigenous organizations like Gignul, Odawa Friendship Centre etc.
