About Us

About Forward Housing

Since 1975, we have been working to ensure every Calgarian has a safe, affordable place to call home.

Our operations are divided into to two arms;

• As a housing management body, we operate 478 senior self-contained units, across seven apartment buildings, for the Government of Alberta.
• As an affordable housing provider, we own and operate 180 units across two buildings in Bridgeland-Riverside.

Key differentiators:

• We serve a diverse mix of low income Calgarians. From families and individuals with a variety of needs, including those with mental health and mobility challenges, the working poor, seniors and those leaving homelessness and domestic violence.
• Our mixed income, mixed use approach helps reduce stigma, promotes community integration, and enhances quality of life for our residents.
• All of our buildings have a part time building maintainer, who addresses any maintenance concerns and a Tenant Service Coordinator who connects our tenants with support services and referrals as needed.
• We subscribe to the Housing First principle; an approach to ending homelessness that centers on quickly moving people experiencing homelessness into independent and permanent housing and then providing additional supports and services as needed.
