We believe that housing is the first step for people experiencing homelessness to transform their lives. When people start from a place of safety and stability with appropriate supports, issues like health, mental health, addictions, employment, and social problems can be addressed more successfully. Our mission is a home for everyone in our community. 

Our Housing First model also makes dollars and sense.

When we provide permanent affordable housing with supports to vulnerable Calgarians, we see a 41% decrease in public systems usage. For every $1 spent on our Housing First programs in Calgary, we save $1.16 – $2.86*.

This is a huge impact for our community.
