www.intervalhouseottawa.org Interval House of Ottawa is a not-for-profit, safe haven for women and their children fleeing violence. We are the longest running home for abused women in Ottawa, first opening our doors in 1976. A dedicated group of strong women opened our doors to women in need more than 35 years ago. July 5th, 1976 marked the first official day that Interval House of Ottawa, a 4-bedroom home furnished with donated items, was in operation. The organization was founded thanks to a devoted group of volunteers that gained quick support from community agencies such as the Elizabeth Fry Society and Family Services Ottawa. Today, that home has grown to a 30-bed safe space for women and their children fleeing inequitable and intolerable domestic abuse.
