The Caldwell Family Centre is looking for a new home, after three decades of serving the Carlington community in Ottawa's west end.
Due to the housing shortage in the capital, Ottawa Community Housing says it requires the two units at 1100 Medford Street that the food bank has been using.
Caldwell Family Centre is now asking for help to find another location for the food bank and it offices to continue offering programs to the community. Ottawa Community Housing has been providing units 20 and 22 at a property on Medford Street for over 30 years, but now requires the units. "I realize housing is a priority in the city and I'm not saying it's not, but for all the things we do I can't see how two housing spaces are going to make a difference in the housing shortage," volunteer Jack Poole said.Ottawa Community Housing says it has offered the Caldwell Family Centre"the only existing other space available' in the area at the Bellevue Community Centre.
