Canada Global(Web News)The City of Calgary has selected two city-owned sites to be developed into transitional housing through local non-profit group HomeSpace Society.
The sites are located in the Horizon neighborhood near the White Horn LRT station and the White Horn Multi-Services Centre.
HomeSpace said it would build affordable family housing on both sites.
Bernadette Majdel, CEO of HomeSpace Society, said: “We envision three-bedroom residential townhouses that will blend seamlessly into the community while providing a safe haven for families at risk of homelessness to thrive. HomeSpace is thrilled to have been selected to help address Calgary’s housing crisis and
is expected to be the first residential development at the new Housing Horizon in northeast Calgary.
Mayor Jyoti Gondek said, “We’ve learned that one of the best ways to advance housing for families in critical situations is to offer city-owned land to supportive housing specialists. These two sites make a difference in the lives of these families.” The City of Calgary
said HomeSpace Society will develop transitional housing to support families at risk of homelessness as part of the city’s housing strategy.
