About Us
We desire to practically demonstrate genuine compassion and care for refugee claimants who arrive in our community with immense needs that can be easily met when someone chooses to be their good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-35).
We operate one-stop centres where refugee claimants are housed and supported to succeed as new immigrants.
Vision
Samaritan House Ottawa is a welcome haven where refugee claimants begin their journey to thrive in Canada.
Mission
Samaritan House Ottawa is a faith-based non-profit that contributes to poverty alleviation by empowering refugee claimants to succeed as new immigrants. We do this by operating a one-stop service centre where they can get a bed, food, and settlement support in a safe familial atmosphere.
