New Holyrood support housing facilities are now accessible in the city
New Supportive Housing Facility Opens in Edmonton's Holyrood Neighbourhood
A new supportive housing facility for the homeless has opened its doors in Edmonton's Holyrood neighbourhood. Located at 83 Street and 94 Avenue, the building was constructed by the city of Edmonton and is now being operated by the George Spady Society.
The facility, which houses 63 people, is part of the federal rapid housing initiative. It offers affordable units, owned by Homeward Trust, with tenants holding their own leases and paying rent.
The George Spady Society, a non-profit organization, will provide support for the tenants' health and wellness, with a focus on recovery. The housing facility is designed to help those experiencing homelessness regain stability and independence.
The project received funding from all three levels of government, reflecting a shared commitment to addressing homelessness in the community. The Mustard Seed, another local organization, will eventually manage the facility, with capacity for 50 residents.
This new supportive housing facility is a significant step forward in Edmonton's efforts to provide safe and affordable housing for those in need. It underscores the city's commitment to supporting vulnerable individuals and families, and working towards a more inclusive and compassionate community.
