Affordable Housing Units for Seniors Added in Calgary

Low-income seniors in northeast Calgary have more options to stay near the communities they’ve lived in thanks to a new development.

Templemont Place and Gardens opened Tuesday with 120 more affordable housing units for seniors thanks to financial support from all levels of government.

“The impact that these new homes will have cannot be understated,” Calgary Skyview MP George Chahal said at the opening.

“It will allow seniors to remain in the community that has been their lifelong home, providing an opportunity for them to age comfortably in place. It will ensure that they can enjoy safety and stability in a home that meets their needs."

The project built by Trinity Place Foundation consists of two buildings connected through an underground parking garage and shared mechanical equipment. The one- and two-bedroom units feature an outdoor courtyard and common rooms at below-market rents.
