  • FREE Heat Pumps to eligible residents

    Ontario’s Independent Electricity System Operator’s Save On Energy Affordability Program will allow income eligible applicants to receive free cold climate air source heat pumps, complete with installation and warranties. The Energy Affordability Program is open to those who access programs like Ontario Works and Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP), or who have a household income below certain levels.

    These air source heat pumps will be available to homes that are currently served by an electric heating system such as electric baseboards. Homeowners and renters can both qualify, however renters must pay their own electricity bills already, and get consent from the property’s owner.

    Matthew House Ottawa (MHO) was founded in 2010 to support refugee claimants who arrive in Ottawa without the benefit of sponsorship by providing shelter, food, and settlement assistance in a family atmosphere through its Refugee Services program. MHO currently has 13 homes (3 reception houses and 10 transition houses) able to serve more than 150+ refugee claimants per year. Residents arrive at MHO from 50+ countries, predominately from Sub-Saharan Africa.

    In 2012, MHO assumed operation of Furniture Bank of Ottawa to address furniture poverty by accepting and redistributing gently-used furniture and household items to diverse individuals and families referred by the City of Ottawa and 50+ social service agencies. Referrals include refugees and other newcomers, people with physical and/or mental health disabilities, women fleeing violence, youth aging out of foster care, Indigenous people, LGBTQ+, and families moving out of homeless shelters. The Furniture Bank program furnishes 1100+ homes each year, serving more than 3000 people.
