Housing Forever Bonds
To meet the growing demand for affordable housing in Ottawa, via preservation and new development, CCOC is marketing Housing Forever Bonds—a community bond campaign allowing individuals and institutions to invest directly in the future of housing in their city.
By investing in the Housing Forever Bond, you’re not only earning a financial return—you’re creating lasting change. Together, we can create a future where every person in Ottawa has access to a home they can afford—now and forever.
