Myth or Fact? It's a Fact! Only 8 percent of Calgary rentals are suitable for families. This means restrictive options for families looking for housing. Affordable housing is the foundation for effectively preventing children from experiencing the trauma of homelessness. Once families have a home, service providers like Inn from the Cold can provide holistic and wrap-around supports, which save the public system's resources and better set families up for long-term success. #mythorfact #yyc #InnfromtheCold

This month, we thank Heide for all her hard work as a kitchen support volunteer!💞 Heide joined The Inn's volunteer team in July last year and quickly became an invaluable member, always willing to lend a helping hand in the kitchen. As a kitchen support volunteer, Heide assists our kitchen team in preparing delicious meals for the families staying with us and gets to follow one of her passions: cooking. "Upon retirement, I knew that I wanted to volunteer, and during my career, I had heard about Inn from the Cold and their good work." Heide says, "Helping people is something I love to do, and one of my passions is cooking, so it seemed like a good fit to volunteer to help out in the kitchen." Thank you, Heide, for your incredible work supporting the families we serve. We deeply appreciate your dedication! #volunteeryyc #yyc #thankyou

This means 80 percent of renters were closer than ever to being unable to afford their place. This year, we noticed an increase in people reaching out for support because of rental costs. In 2022/23 18% of the families we served were reaching out for support because of rental costs. In 2023/24 it raised to 20%. Have you had a rental increase this year? #renters #yycrental #costofliving
