Affordable Permanent Housing

Ultimately, it is affordable permanent housing that provides the pathway out of homelessness for individuals and families that have stabilized their lives and simply need affordable housing.

It is no secret that affordable housing for low income households helps to prevent homelessness.  Conversely, lack of affordable housing: 

  • quickly erodes disposable income
  • reduces access to employment
  • compromises health
  • prevents social inclusion
  • reduces the social and economic fabric of communities

In order to effectively help homeless people, adequate, safe, affordable housing must be available.   Bringing Lethbridge Home is dedicated to increasing the number of affordable houses available to both renters and home owners.  We are also committed to:

  • maintaining the fidelity of the Housing First philosopy
  • developing guidelines and partnerships to create innovative and affordable housing alternatives
  • developing safe and dignified housing neighborhoods for all people to live, learn and grow through advocacy, shared experiences and diversity
  • identifying and facilitating the support services and education required to sustain permanent housing

It is our plan, not our dream, to make "home" a reality for fragile families and individuals in our community who might otherwise never be able to exit the painful cycle of homelessness.
