A huge congratulations to Alan Norris, Chair of RESOLVEyyc for his induction into BILD Alberta Association Hall of Fame and to the RESOLVEyyc Visionary Builders on receiving the Community Service Award. A job well done!
For Calgary Homeless Foundation, this generosity means the groundbreaking or opening of 7 permanent housing complexes with supports in collaboration with our housing partner HomeSpace Society. Each building houses an average of 23-30 individuals who were forme...rly experiencing homelessness, and provides the support services to keep them safely housed.
The RESOLVEyyc Campaign is community collaboration at its finest, and we're thrilled that others are taking notice.https://bit.ly/2NiaNau
