Retrofits to Ottawa’s ageing stock of affordable housing can reduce emissions while preserving the buildings and protecting tenants from evictions.
OCAF is working with partners to retrofit affordable housing, improve the comfort and quality of current homes, and create opportunities for new low carbon, affordable units
Funding Opportunity
OCAF is looking to support an organization interested in conducting an inventory of Ottawa’s multi-unit residential buildings and the GHG reduction potential associated with retrofits.
Planning an Ottawa for All
Tackling Emissions and Inequity
We’re proud to support Ecology Ottawa & CAWI’s Climate Equity initiative, which equips residents, especially those traditionally underrepresented in planning and climate conversations, with the knowledge and tools to engage in local planning and climate discussions. Through workshops and community dialogue, participants build skills to advocate for more climate-resilient, equitable neighbourhoods.
