Canadian Red Cross - Community Housing Support Program

The Canadian Red Cross is committed to addressing the issue of homelessness in Calgary by providing assitance to low-income families and individuals who are currently homeless or who are at risk of becoming homeless.

What we do-
We help people secure safe housing or maintain their current housing by:

~discussing various resources that are available in the community
~providing referrals to other programs and services (eg. social assistance, food banks, subsidized housing)
~offering partial one-time financial assistance toward security deposits or rental arrears
~assisting with a partial one-time payment for essential utilities (electricity or gas) when disconnection is a concern (between late fall and early spring only)
~advocating to landlords or utility companies on behalf of clients
