OVERVIEW
About Harvest House Ministries of Ottawa:
Harvest House Ministries of Ottawa is a small 2-star charity without large funding reserves. It has a D+ in results reporting, meaning it publicly reports little information about its programs. The charity is not financially transparent. Before you give, read Charity Intelligence’s report.
Founded in 1979, Harvest House Ministries of Ottawa-Carleton (HHMO) is a charity that operates a recovery program for young men who struggle with addiction. HHMO aims to rehabilitate drug addicts and reintegrate them into society with a sobriety program that is based on Christian values. The charity operates a 24-bed house in south Ottawa where residents live for one year as a part of the main program. HHMO offers nine programs for its residents, including continuing education, skills development, and re-entry.
HHMO’s continuing education program provides teaching and tutoring for residents without a high school diploma to prepare them for the General Equivalency Diploma test. The program offers study skills sessions for people with a high school diploma to help them pursue a post-secondary degree.
The skills development program equips residents with a variety of job-related skills to ease their transition back into society. Examples of program activities include woodworking, meal preparation, data entry, and telephone sales. The program also offers residents suits and professional clothing.
The charity’s re-entry program provides housing for graduates of the main program as they attempt to re-enter society. HHMO has four re-entry homes which can house up to 13 graduates.
The charity did not disclose a spending breakdown for its programs on its website.

Note: Ci removed pledges receivable from donations, which affected revenues by $5k in F2021, $27k in F2020, and $64k in F2019. Ci used the charity’s T3010 filings with the CRA to break apart fundraising and administrative costs from program costs. Ci used the T3010 to report government funding separate from donations. Ci also used the T3010 to report goods-in-kind. This affected both revenues and expenses by $11k in F2020, and $5k in F2019.
