City of Ottawa - Accessibility Spotlight - Support for residents through the City of Ottawa

A Human Needs Task Force was implemented as part of the City’s Emergency Management Plan and emergency response to COVID-19 to ensure that we are responsive to the emerging needs of the community.


Residents are reminded of these services once again during this difficult time as demonstrations continue to impact those that live and/or work in our downtown core.

The task force is focused on responding to immediate, medium and long-term community needs on:

  • Financial and food security
  • Homelessness and sheltering

If you or anyone you know are experiencing distress during this difficult time, residents are reminded to call 3-1-1 for information on City services and 2-1-1 for information on local Community based health and social services.

Residents can equally reach out to the Human Needs Task Force directly at
613-580-2424 ext. 26753 or HNTF@ottawa.ca (link sends e-mail).
