1,200+ people received housing over the first two years of the 10 Year Plan;
HUA funded emergency shelters seeing declining numbers when comparing monthly numbers with the same month in the previous year
2,165 affordable housing units funded over the past year, including 1,000 units created through The City of Calgary's Attainable Home Ownership Program
Co-ordination of re-housing processes for families, resulting in 107 families, plus 70 families fleeing domestic violence, receiving housing with supports and two new shelter diversion projects to provide families at risk of homelessness an alternative to emergency shelters.
