At Our Place: A Study on Living & Belonging in Enhanced Supportive Housing

The Rita Thompson Residence (RTR) is an enhanced supportive housing facility operated by the John Howard Society (JHS) of Ottawa. RTR provides a home to a group of previously homeless men and women confronting complex health and substance use concerns by providing them with on-site supports. Chronic homelessness is a rising issue across Ontario, therefore, there is a growing need for programs such as RTR to provide the necessary supports and services for this vulnerable population.
