Final Phase

To complete our final phase, we need $1,200,000.00 in order to renovate the fifty apartments in the building and add ten more. These rooms provide affordable housing for individuals who want to transition off the streets and out of the shelters to regular housing.

By providing affordable housing and supportive programs, we provide an opportunity for single men and women to move from a place of survival to a place of stability and success. In the past three years we have consistantly had a 70% success rate in helping individuals with this transition.

Since the Hotel Ogden (Victory Manor) is an historic site, renovating a room means that you will not only be helping change a life, but also help restore a part of Calgary's history. 

Final renovations are now underway and we have been able to hire individuals in the building to do much of the gutting and demolition work where needed. By employing residents of the building, a greater sense of ownership is attained.

It has been a lot of work, but the end is now in sight. A safer, healthier facility is our goal for the centennial anniversary of the building in 2012.
