Our Daughters' Home
A Forever Home for Women with Developmental Disabilities
In Ontario, over 28,000 adults with developmental disabilities are waiting for supportive housing—only 6% will receive it. Our Daughters' Home is a community-driven response to this crisis.
Founded by families in Peterborough, Ontario, Our Daughters’ Home (ODH) is building a safe, permanent, and supportive home for seven incredible women. These women have grown up surrounded by love, care, and community. Now, we are working together to create a home that continues that legacy—where they can live with dignity, grow in independence, and receive the wraparound care they need for life.
This is more than a house. It’s a new model that is family-led and built to last.

Why Do We Need This Home?
In Ontario, the housing crisis for adults with developmental disabilities is dire. Waitlists span decades. Families are aging and the public system cannot keep pace.
Our Daughters’ Home changes that.
We are building a safe, sustainable, and community-rooted home—by families, for families. Our daughters have grown up in loving homes. Now, they deserve to transition into adult living with the same care and dignity.
This is a replicable, scalable model powered by hope, family, and community. Together, we can ensure these women have not just a place to stay, but a home to thrive.
Our Mission
To provide immediate, permanent, safe, supportive housing in the Peterborough area for our adult daughters, all who have developmental disabilities.
Our Vision
To provide a home where our daughters will live with dignity, be actively engaged in the community, have a high quality of life, and develop life skills in an enriching environment.
