OFP prides itself on providing a community in which all are welcomed.

WHO WE ARE

In the spirit of true friendship, we seek to ensure that people with disabilities have every opportunity possible for full participation in society, continued personal growth and choice in all aspects of their lives.

Ottawa Foyers Partage (OFP) supports over fifty-five adults with multiple disabilities in Ottawa, Ontario. With eight homes, two supported independent living apartments and our ComputerWise & Outreach programs, OFP prides itself on providing a community in which all are welcomed, regardless of creed, background or ability and supported without discrimination. Our team of compassionate developmental service workers support our residents and participants to be full citizens in their communities.

OUR APPROACH

Sharing Our Lives and Creating Friendships for a Lifetime

In 1982, with the support of Holy Cross Parish and a volunteer Board of Directors, Ottawa Foyers Partage established a Booth Street residence for people with multiple disabilities.

The original three residents had previously been living at the Rideau Regional Centre, a large institution outside of Ottawa. In 1985, the organization opened a second home for six adults with disabilities. Over the years, Ottawa Foyers Partage has expanded and moved to accommodate more residents. ComputerWise, a computer-based workplace for persons with disabilities, was launched a few years later in 1987.
