Our Mission and Vision
Our mission at Ancoura is to provide a nurturing and fulfilling environment for adults living with a mental illness in Ottawa – through stable housing and a supportive community.
What We Do
Our work is carried out through many partnerships involving volunteers, staff, health professionals, faith groups, and other community organizations. Linking residents with volunteers and activities in the community gives everyone involved an opportunity to enrich their lives.
