@VibrantCalgary Thank you for making Calgary a better place!
“Anything that can enable different types of homes, and more affordable homes, and anything that is going to enable developers to build homes faster, we are going to be in support of,” said @leeandreacoward about the rezoning proposal in front of #yyccc. calgary.citynews.ca/2024/04/18/cal…
@VibrantCalgary @OnwardYYC Great people doing great work!! #housing #yyc
We are proud to be an Enough for All Champion! It's why we work hard to ensure every Calgarian has a safe, appropriate, affordable place to call home. Thanks @VibrantCalgary !
Reintroducing our E4A Champion - @OnwardYYC! Horizon Housing and Forward Housing have merged as a new affordable housing force in #yyc to continue providing every Calgarian a safe, appropriate, affordable place to call home. Learn more about them here: onwardhomes.ca
A promising announcement is the Canadian Renters’ Bill of Rights. It's critical for the gov't to develop this w/ renter communities & orgs. If done right, it could provide a Canada-wide standard to help ensure all renters have the right to fair rents & protection from eviction.
Calgary is facing a critical housing shortage and urgent action is needed to increase supply across the entire continuum. HomeSpace supports City Council vote in favour of the residential city-wide rezoning. Read our full letter below. #yyccc #blanketrezoning #housing
A big day on housing today! 👇
Today, the federal government announced a new housing plan, titled "Solving the Housing Crisis: Canada's Housing Plan." This is the most comprehensive and ambitious housing strategy by a federal government in over 40 years. Read our statement here ⬇️ loom.ly/m1HHsrY
"R-CG is more than a theoretical planning concept or piece of municipal jargon: it is housing for people. Our housing crisis will only get worse if we fail to act." Read our official submission to City Council in support of Rezoning for Housing. static1.squarespace.com/static/6381151…
"We know that because people who are making minimum wage aren't able to make ends meet, they're having to make trade-offs in terms of things like medication and food particularly. That's what we're hearing the most." says @Meaghon of @VibrantCalgary. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
I noticed mutual aid efforts strengthening in Calgary and thought I'd look into it. I found out how they work and why they're a growing alternative to government aid and NPOs. Check out my first deep-dive with CBC Calgary. #yyc #mutualaid cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
To support teachers and schools with literacy, we need to have data from which to know where our gaps in literacy teaching lie.
A lack of housing supply is extremely correlated with homelessness - which is why the Calgary Drop-In Centre is calling on #yyccc to approve the Rezoning for Housing proposal. #housing #yyc calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…
Exciting day at the grand opening of the new Children’s Cottage Society facility!🏡 This space will serve an additional 3,000 children & families in crisis to seek support, dignity and compassion.
We know that low literacy levels can lead to lower income levels later in life or even unemployment, and while poverty isn't just about it income it is always about income.
