Innovative housing project underway in Calgary

The renovation of a Calgary office tower will provide shelter spaces, transitional and affordable housing, and support downtown revitalization in Alberta’s largest city.

With support from the Alberta and federal governments, the City of Calgary and private fundraising, HomeSpace Society, a non-profit housing provider, is renovating a 10-storey building to convert it from office space into affordable and specialized housing.

Six floors will be reserved for 82 units of affordable housing, and two floors will be used for shelter spaces and transitional housing. Administration space and other services, that may include child care, would be on another floor.

This $30-million project is an example of more affordable housing options that meet the needs of Albertans with low income.
