About Homespace Society
HomeSpace is on a mission to increase the number of affordable and specialized housing units in Calgary.
Homespace Society Description
In 2003, HomeSpace Society (formerly Calgary Community Land Trust Society) was created to fill a need in our community. That need is to grow capacity in the non-market housing sector to access affordable housing and significantly advance community–based planning and delivery of housing options, specifically to vulnerable populations.
HomeSpace exists to support social agencies’ access to safe, appropriate and affordable housing for vulnerable populations in our city. We own a portfolio of over 400 units of housing in 20 communities throughout Calgary and we work with agencies who provide supports to vulnerable Calgarians in need of housing. HomeSpace is also a property developer, building specialized permanent housing in order to continually add to the affordable housing stock in our city. We own, operate, develop and provide housing for our community.
DIG what we are all about
Dignity: We respect every person’s right to be treated with dignity and have access to a safe, appropriate and affordable home, while acting with integrity to maintain trust from our partners and community.
Innovation: We find new and better ways of providing housing – and thereby, we fearlessly challenge the status quo.
Growth: We collaborate to grow housing options for the community
HomeSpace is housing our community.

Happy National Nonprofit Day! We are proud and honoured to serve Calgary, working towards a home for everyone in our community, and working alongside our many amazing partners!
Met with Minister Joe Ceci yesterday, talking affordable housing in Calgary, how our model is working, and upcoming developments.
An affordable housing provider in Calgary, we support legislating the right to housing as part of Canada's human rights commitments and National Housing Strategy. Great work bringing this conversation to the forefront by all of the organizations involved. http://caeh.ca/right-to-housing/
Calgary’s population grew by 21,007 people over the past year. Yet our non-market housing sits at 3.6%, well below the national average of 6%. Please support affordable housing in our community so we can all lead our best lives!

Today is International Indigenous Peoples Day! Check out Historica Canada's Indigenous Perspectives Education Guide, a great, free resource featuring terminology, history, activities and more for educators and anyone who wants to know more. http://fb.historicacanada.ca/…/eng…/i ndigenous-perspectives/
Contact our friends and partners on the DOAP Team if you see someone requiring assistance, especially during the heat wave.
Often, the use of substances is a fact and the main focus should be placed on reducing harm while use continues. You can save a friend who uses from an overdose with free naloxone kits, via Alberta Health Services.

Save the Date! October 3 is our first DIG event - Fall Pop-up Food Market, featuring some eats and treats, local entertainment and our agency partners in celebration of the work we do together to provide vulnerable Calgarians with access to safe, affordable housing and good food options. Everyone is welcome!

Awesome news the motion passed yesterday to invest $25M into mental health, addictions and crime prevention: https://calgaryherald.com/…/city-counci l-backs-call-for-men…
The highlight for this being accessing services and exploring alternatives BEFORE homelessness hits. That's always the goal! Great collaborative initiative to help Calgarians involving some of our agency partners: https://www.cbc.ca/…/calgary-homelessne ss-family-hub-1.4757…
Looking forward to Monday! It's so important and much more efficient to take a strategic, systems wide view on mental health, addictions and crime prevention. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUhKpOqXi jc&feature=youtu.be
An almost 19% decrease from the peak in 2008 - great work by everyone in the sector. Keep digging in!
Amazing, congratulations Accessible Housing! What a great program!
It's Stampede week but that hasn't slowed down Homes By Avi, Calgary + Avi Urban crews on our latest development, The Maple in Renfrew Community Association! Check out construction photos and learn more about this 26 unit #affordablehousing apartment building here: https://bit.ly/2CpPpGt
Happy Monday! It’s going to be a hot one today - please keep an eye out for vulnerable Calgarians who may not be as prepared for the heat! Donations of water are always appreciated - check in with our community partner agencies to see what their needs may be: https://bit.ly/2gNiB3m #Community
Thank you! We are excited to bring more affordable housing to the core! #Community
