Tamir was founded in 1980 by a group of dedicated individuals and families who identified the need for community living in a Jewish environment for adults with developmental disabilities in Ottawa.

Tamir opened its first group home in 1985 and today is a vibrant organization offering a variety of residential, day and outreach services. Funded principally by the Ontario Ministry of Children, Family and Community Services, Tamir is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and has a membership of over 1000.
