HomeSpace Society

HomeSpace Society HomeSpace is on a mission to increase the number of affordable and specialized housing units in Calgary

In 2003, HomeSpace Society (formerly Calgary Community Land Trust Society) was created to fill a need in our community. That need is to significantly increase access to affordable housing and advance community–based planning and delivery of housing options, specifically to vulnerable populations. HomeSpace exists to support social agencies’ access to safe, appropriate and affordable housing for vu

lnerable populations in our city. We own a portfolio of over 750 units of housing in 24 communities throughout Calgary and we work with agencies who provide supports to vulnerable Calgarians in need of housing. HomeSpace is also a property developer, building specialized permanent housing in order to continually add to the affordable housing stock in our city. We own, operate, develop and provide housing for our community. DIG what we are all about

Dignity: We respect every person’s right to be treated with dignity and have access to a safe, appropriate and affordable home, while acting with integrity to maintain trust from our partners and community. Innovation: We find new and better ways of providing housing – and thereby, we fearlessly challenge the status quo. Growth: We collaborate to grow housing options for the community

HomeSpace is housing our community.

At HomeSpace, we’re building more than housing. We’re creating pathways to stability, dignity, and community.

From our newly opened 52 transitional family townhomes in Whitehorn, to 45 new family homes coming to Evergreen, we’re expanding options for families at risk of or experiencing homelessness.

We’re also transforming Calgary’s underused spaces into affordable housing, with 65 new non-market homes planned at 1000 8th Ave, while developing 56 units of permanent supportive housing with 24/7 on-site supports for people transitioning out of chronic homelessness.

Together with our community and service partners, we’re working to create homes where Calgarians can build a more stable future.

This International Youth Day we would like to highlight our family townhome project in Evergreen, where we will be building 45 2 & 3-bedroom townhomes, 10 accessible units and a 4,305-resident building with office, programming, and amenity spaces for family and agency use.

These will be more than just homes. They are a chance for families and youth to gain support and create long-lasting stability.

Until the end of August, this project is being further supported by Rogers Birdies for Kids presented by Altalink - helping us raise funds to strengthen our community and provide much-needed housing for families.

Over the past 10 years, HomeSpace has grown alongside a rapidly evolving affordable housing sector.

What began as a small portfolio has evolved into housing for more than 1,500 Calgarians throughout the city. Along the way, we've responded to rising housing need, built new partnerships, and adapted our approach, all while continuing to build homes for those who need them most.

This timeline tells the story of the past decade: the milestones that shaped our organization, the decisions that shaped our sector, and the people who made it all possible.

Now that families are settling into their new homes in Whitehorn, we're excited to see every part of the site come to life, especially the new playground. 🤸‍♀️

From the beginning, we intentionally designed the outdoor areas to encourage play, connection, and community right on site. Along with a basketball court, we built a high-quality playground that current and future children living at Whitehorn can enjoy.

Because this community is designed for Indigenous families, the playground features Indigenous-inspired play elements that help foster a sense of recognition and belonging for children.

This playground was made possible thanks to the generous support of the Calgary Foundation through the Community Grants Program and YourAlberta (Government of Alberta) a through the Community Facility Enhancement Program. Thank you for helping create a space where children can play and families can connect for generations to come.

Here is our 2025-26 impact by the numbers!

As we celebrate 10 years of HomeSpace, every number tells a story, and together, they paint a bigger picture of what affordable housing makes possible.

Since 2016, HomeSpace has grown to owning and operating 979 homes across 36 properties in all four quadrants of Calgary, providing stable housing for more than 1,500 residents.

Those numbers are made possible through partnership. By developing and managing affordable housing, HomeSpace enables our 21 social service partners to focus on providing wrap-around supports that help our residents build stable, fulfilling lives.

On average, rents in HomeSpace buildings are 51% below market rate, giving residents the opportunity to remain housed while prioritizing other essential needs like food, healthcare, and education.
