Why We Exist
“Three years ago I spent three months in rehabilitation and then another eight months just waiting in hospital for a place to go. I wasn’t looking forward to a future in which I was institutionalized. Accessible Housing allowed me to escape the medical system and move on living my life. Accessible Housing deserves to receive even more assistance so that it can continue to have Calgarians address their basic need for shelter, and for a home.” – Stewart, a resident at Inclusio
“Accessible Housing helps me grow as a person. They make my life better by giving me a safe place to live and for loving me. Here at Newbridge, at our home, we have our ups and downs, just like everybody else, but we are growing. We are a family. The staff at Accessible Housing care about me. ” – Melody, a resident at the Newbridge group home
“I am grateful every night that I have my own place to come back to at the end of the day. When I was on the streets every day I would have to think about where I was going to sleep, which shelter, under which bridge. I am just so happy to have a place to call home.” – James, a client from the Bridge to Home program
