- Notes
- "Cornerstone Housing for Women -- a community ministry of the diocese of Ottawa -- has launched a $6.8 million project to convert the former 'Mother House' of a Roman Catholic religious community into a home for 42 women needing safe, affordable housing. 'It's a wonderful, wonderful project' said Sue Garvey, Cornerstone's executive director, in a telephone interview with the 'Anglican Journal' March 3 [2017]. 'The government money made all the difference in us being able to do it at all'. Cornerstone received $3.97 million from the federal government through the Canada-Ontario Investment in Affordable Housing (IAH) agreement, to be administered through the City of Ottawa's 'Action Ottawa' program". "'The Sisters of Jeanne d'Arc wanted to have a legacy in the community and they really wanted to leave their home to a group who had some of the same values and goals', said Garvey. 'They've always had such a strong commitment to women and social justice, and that's who Cornerstone is'."
