MissionTo transform Calgary by raising $120 million to make home a reality for 3,000 homeless and vulnerable Calgarians through a first-of-its-kind collaboration between nine agencies.
VisionA Calgary that is a better home for everyone.
Who we areRESOLVE is a group of nine social service agencies that are collaborating, along with government, business and community leaders, to address the critical shortage of affordable housing with supports in Calgary. The nine agencies are:> Accessible Housing> Bishop O’Byrne Housing Association> Calgary Alpha House Society> Calgary Homeless Foundation> Calgary John Howard Society> Horizon Housing Society> Silvera for Seniors> The Mustard Seed> Trinity Place Foundation of Alberta
What we doThrough our first-in-Canada model of collaboration, our single, one-time goal is to raise $120 million to provide affordable and supported rental housing for 3,000 homeless and vulnerable Calgarians. We magnify our collective impact by working together, sharing knowledge and best practices, saving on costs and fostering cooperation.
Why we do itThere are currently 3,500 Calgarians experiencing homelessness and over 14,000 households at extreme risk of becoming homeless. Calgary desperately needs more affordable and supported housing. RESOLVE was formed to create the homes needed to help get Calgary’s Plan to End Homelessness across the finish line. Together, we can build a city where all Calgarians have a key to a safe, stable and affordable home.

To my fellow Calgarians,We know that home is the pivotal catalyst that propels vulnerable people from hopelessness to prosperity – a meal, cooked in your own kitchen, suddenly tastes better; the outdoors are no longer a distant memory because a ramp allows you to leave your house in your wheelchair; you finally have an address to put at the top of your resume; and you don’t have to choose between paying your rent or paying for your medication every month.
We are on the way to making this a reality for thousands of people. But there is still an urgent need to fund these projects and create the much-needed housing for our most vulnerable citizens. RESOLVE is an innovative initiative and we are looking at innovative solutions for getting the shovel in the ground.
RESOLVE is streamlining the fundraising process through collaboration, a necessity especially during these tough economic times. Although this last year has been a trying one for Calgary, we are seeing corporate and community leaders come together, standing up for all Calgarians and proclaiming that everyone deserves to have a place to call home. Government has recognized that the lack of affordable housing with supports is a key issue facing our city. They have committed $117 million in grants to our projects.
Looking ahead, we are excited to combine our Cabinet and Major Gifts Council as one group and re-engage with the community. We are excited you’ve joined us on the road to home as the transformative citizens our city needs to make sure Calgary is never in this situation again.
Thank you for your resolve to help end the affordable and supported housing crisis in the city we call home.
Sincerely,

Cindy Rutherford, left and Gary McNamara, Co-Chairs of the RESOLVE Major Gifts Council, an extension of the Calgarians Committed to Change Cabinet. The group of 22 influential volunteers formed in spring 2015.

Years ago Cindy Rutherford, past Vice-President of Aboriginal Relations and Land at Progress Energy, was fascinated by a story she read. More and more women in their late 50s, many of whom had never worked outside the home, were experiencing an increasing divorce rate – meaning they had little to no income to fall back on and could eventually face homelessness.
The story went on to describe a housing model where women came together to live in an affordable way while supporting each other. The idea stuck with Cindy, and, when she was approached by the RESOLVE Campaign, she jumped at the chance to join its new Major Gifts Council and eventually become one of its Co-Chairs.
The Major Gifts Council is an extension of RESOLVE’s Calgarians Committed to Change Cabinet and formed in spring 2015. The Cabinet is made up of another 19 volunteers who are passionate about ending homelessness for 3,000 people through the Campaign.
Gary McNamara, Cindy’s fellow Co-Chair, says the Council is a unique group with a challenging and rewarding task. “We are all here for the same reason – RESOLVE is a noble cause,” he says. “Everyone is very accomplished and has different strengths to bring to the table. And they’re willing to take the time to do it.”
Cindy and Gary agree that one of the most exciting moments of the Campaign so far was Calgary Foundation’s gift to RESOLVE.
“When a group like Calgary Foundation believes in your cause, you know you’re doing the right thing,” Gary says.
Cindy adds that the long-running institution embodies the spirit of Calgary. “With all the other opportunities in Calgary, they recognized RESOLVE as something they want to be involved in.”
Both Co-Chairs acknowledge the urgency of the affordable and supported housing situation in Calgary.
“There’s a huge economic benefit with RESOLVE because providing a homeless person with a supported home saves taxpayers $34,000 per person per year,” Cindy says. “With the economy the way it is right now, we could be benefitting from using these tax dollars elsewhere.”
Gary adds that there’s still a high level of demand. “If one person moves, there are another three waiting. There are thousands of people very close to the edge of homelessness.”

A group of courageous leaders in the homeless-serving sector asked each other a largely unasked question: can nine agencies come together as one to create affordable and supported housing for 3,000 Calgarians in need?
Their audacious answer was a collective “YES” and the RESOLVE Campaign was born.
Read on to find out more about our activity over the last year.

Our corporate CalgaryCorporations in Calgary have joined us and dedicated their resources to helping those in need in our city. They have recognized the value in ending and preventing homelessness – both for the people having these experiences and for the community as a whole – and, as a prominent presence here, are truly improving the city we all call home.

Visionary homebuilders win Philanthropic Group Award In the business world they are competitors. But in the homeless sector they have come together as our greatest champions.
The 11 Visionary homebuilders who contributed a lead gift to RESOLVE won the Philanthropic Group Award at the 2015 Generosity of Spirit Awards on November 13, 2015.
This group is steadfastly committed to addressing the lack of affordable and supported housing by working together on more than eight Calgary Homeless Foundation (CHF) projects within RESOLVE. Their combined $15.4 million gift is in addition to sharing their expertise, leadership and motivation to get these projects in the ground.
The builders were at the starting line of the Campaign. RESOLVE has been fortunate to have the leadership of Alan Norris, of Brookfield Residential Properties Inc., as the Chair of the Campaign and Jay Westman, of Jayman BUILT Group of Companies, as a member of the Cabinet.
The 11 builders have been instrumental in moving these projects forward with their first-hand knowledge of not only the building industry but also the importance of having a home.

The “Four Amigos” — (from left to right) Ross Glen of RGO Office Products, Charlie Guille of Cougar Contractors Ltd., Bob Harris of Centron Group of Companies, and Bill Kujat of Safeway Holdings — are opening 45 new doors to accessible and affordable homes with their gift of $5.6 million to RESOLVE, designated to Accessible Housing.

Four friends team up to build homes for people with limited mobility Bob Harris of Centron Group of Companies, also a builder, saw a gap in Calgary’s housing – the lack of homes that are both accessible and affordable for people with limited mobility. Harris enlisted the support of three friends – Bill Kujat of Safeway Holdings, Charlie Guille of Cougar Contractors Ltd. and Ross Glen of RGO Office Products – and, together with their families, they made an incredible combined gift of $5.6 million to Accessible Housing’s RESOLVE project.
Charlie remembers hearing about Bob’s involvement in RESOLVE over their usual Friday afternoon lunch. “His enthusiasm was contagious. I immediately wanted to get involved,” he says, adding that his friend’s daughter is a partial quadriplegic. Charlie has seen the frustrating challenges people with limited mobility face every day.
Bob and Charlie got in touch with their friends Bill and Ross. “They didn’t have to convince us at all. It just made a lot of sense to join them,” Bill says.
And, thus, the “Amigos” were formed.
Their gift is going towards the redevelopment of a 40-year-old Accessible Housing residence to increase the units from 11 to 45. The Amigos held a barbeque at the home for current tenants and their families to celebrate. Construction is expected to begin in late summer 2016.
“It was great to have the opportunity to walk – or roll – in someone else’s shoes for a few hours,” Charlie says of meeting the people who lived at the site. “Their determination and pride was inspiring.”
Bob adds, “It’s important to make life a little more comfortable for people in need of affordable and accessible housing. This building will offer that.”
The Four Amigos are setting an example of what can be done when Calgarians come together. “It’s a great cause,” Ross says. “Let’s work together to end homelessness.”
Sadly, Charlie Guille passed away on April 17, 2016. He will always be remembered for his incredible generosity and commitment to those in need. Charlie chose to give an additional $1 million to the Campaign and the legacy he has left through these gifts will help vulnerable Calgarians better their lives for years to come. 13

Our Calgary communityCommunities that welcome people who were homeless or at-risk are caring communities. For people who have perhaps lived on the margins of society, a sense of belonging is an important part of rebuilding their lives – and making sure they feel truly at home.
Community foundation gives stamp of approval with $4 millionWhen almost half of Albertans say they would be in financial trouble if their paycheque was delayed just one week, there is something wrong in our community.
This is what Calgary Foundation found in their most recent Vital Signs report. As a key supporter of our community for 60 years, they responded by granting RESOLVE a total of $4 million. Compelled by the need, an anonymous donor at the Calgary Foundation was inspired to equally match their $2 million gift — effectively paying off the remainder of two RESOLVE project mortgages, The Mustard Seed’s Beltline Apartment and Calgary Homeless Foundation’s Acadia Place.
“We’re very aware of the challenges in Calgary right now,” says Kerry Longpré, Vice President of Communications at Calgary Foundation. “It’s important for us to look at ways we can support the community in these tough times.”
Calgary Foundation was drawn to RESOLVE because of its unique collaborative and inclusive model which is why they chose to give an undesignated gift. “Organizations can learn so much from each other and the work they do,” Kerry says. “Each Partner in the Campaign has a slightly different role in the community. It’s quite illuminating to learn about each of them and how they’ve come together.”
The Foundation recognizes that having a home is a fundamental need for everyone. “Having a place to call your own is really the key,” Kerry says.
Media partners donate advertising space A combined $1.6 million in advertising donated by our media partners – including $1 million from The Jim Pattison Group, split equally between cash and advertising, and $1.05 million from Shaw Communications Inc. – is allowing us to spread awareness of RESOLVE’s new, never-been-done-before initiative across Calgary. Whether they are riding the RESOLVE C-Train to work, driving past a billboard on the way home, watching commercials during Global News or listening to the radio, Calgarians are taking note – homelessness can happen to anyone and that is unacceptable. Our media partners are: The Jim Pattison Group, REC Media, Shaw Communications Inc. and Source Media Group.

He was fortunate to eventually find an accessible, affordable and supported home with one of RESOLVE’s Partners 15 years ago. “It’s so convenient because of the accessibility features,” John says. “I can roll my wheelchair under the counter to wash dishes or put my stew in the microwave.”
John sees the hard work that goes into his building. He’s so appreciative of his home that he decided to give back what he could with a donation to the RESOLVE Campaign.
“There’s a real shortage of housing for people with limited mobility in Calgary,” John says. “I’m so grateful for my home here.”

Keely’s resilience and new home finally gave her a normal life
This is the first time in her 26 years that Keely has what she calls a normal life. “As normal as it can get,” she adds.
Keely was born with several physical health problems that have worsened over the years. As a result, she uses a wheelchair and relies on an oxygen machine. Keely has also been diagnosed with four mental health disorders, including major depressive disorder.
She is the definition of resilient.
As Keely grew into a young teenager, her parents had difficulty taking care of her. She says her father became abusive and, for the next several years, she spent time couchsurfing, living in a group home and in a long-term care facility – where she experienced abuse again.
“I was trying to commit suicide almost every day as a youth,” Keely remembers. “I ended up homeless four or five times. Everything just kept going downhill.”
Things got so bad that Keely ended up in hospital. Even though her health stabilized, she was forced to stay there for four years while waiting to find housing that was both safe and affordable.
“Everyone I got to know would either die or move away,” she says. “I couldn’t even cry because the nurses thought that meant I was going to try to kill myself again. There was no privacy.”
Eventually two of RESOLVE’s Partners were able to work together to provide Keely with a barrier-free home where she would have all the support she needs to deal with her various health conditions.
“I don’t have to worry about someone walking in and hurting me,” Keely says. “I can come and go
when I want to. I can cook. I can rest when I’m sick instead of being poked and prodded.”
She adds that the community feel of the building has been reassuring. “When my neighbours heard I was low on food and couldn’t get to the food bank because I was sick, they all pitched in despite having little themselves.”
Through tears, Keely adds that she feels like she’s been given a second chance at life. “I thought I’d lost hope forever but my home here has brought hope back to me. I’m happier than I’ve been in a long time.”
> “Having my own personal space”> “Not having to be afraid of people coming in to hurt me”> “The community here and the friends I’ve made”

Future Project: Construct a 45-unit building for people with limited physical mobility experiencing housing insecurity.
Accessible Housing has reached almost 80 per cent of their fundraising goal, largely thanks to a $5.6 million gift made by four friends. Their development permit was approved in March 2016. Construction is anticipated to begin in September 2016. They are working with fellow RESOLVE Partner Silvera for Seniors to house the current tenants while the site for this project is redeveloped.
Accessible Housing
Women’s Facility: Construct a 25-30 unit building for women experiencing homelessness and addiction.
Alpha House completed a planning study with renderings for their building for vulnerable women. They also completed an internal research report with a focus group of their female clients. The findings will inform the features of the building to best help the tenants have success in their housing. They are anticipating the project to be complete in 2018.

New Bedford House: Construct a new building for 32 men with complex needs who require assistance transitioning back into the community from the justice system.
The current Bedford House has been expropriated so tenants and staff have moved to a temporary home in Forest Lawn until the RESOLVE project can be built. The site in Manchester is ready for development when the funds are raised. CJHS was able to retire half the mortgage on the land by selling it to a business. They are expecting the project to be complete by mid-2019.

Elbow Valley Site: Construct a new building for 125 seniors with low income.
Silvera is selling a portion of its land to Horizon Housing as they work together on their projects. Silvera is working on a Master Plan for the site and expects to break ground in summer 2017. Their partnership with Horizon Housing is preparing the agencies to foster relationships between future tenants to create a full, vibrant community.

Community PartnersOur Partners work with a variety of agencies in the community to provide wrap-around services for tenants to help them live happy, healthy lives in their home. This is what some of them had to say about creating more affordable housing in Calgary.
— Canadian Mental Health Association – Calgary Region
“We are very much of the opinion that “housing equals health.” Having stable housing is a crucial first step in the recovery journey, particularly in preventing unnecessary hospitalizations. It is the foundation that the rest of the process is built upon whether as apartments, or group settings. More units will allow us to better meet the needs of our clients and truly support them in their journey through recovery. “
“Affordable housing opportunities enable our families to successfully meet their basic needs; this stability allows them the opportunity to focus their attention on areas that will allow them to thrive.” — Aspen Family
— Wood’s Homes
“Having a roof over your head and a safe place to call home is absolutely critical for vulnerable youth as they transition into adulthood. We know that affordable and stable housing makes a difference for youth and reduces barriers to success. Having more available housing options for youth greatly increases successful transitions to adulthood.”
— CUPS (Calgary Urban Project Society)
“Adequate and affordable housing is paramount to addressing the vulnerabilities our clients face daily. A home creates the consistency and stability that allows for the acknowledgement of systemic barriers that could not otherwise receive the attention they need.“
— Discovery House Family Violence Prevention Society
“Domestic violence is one of the leading causes of homelessness across the globe. Without long-term affordable housing, victims of domestic violence are at risk of returning to an abuser or cycling through shelters. Safe affordable housing leads to healing and hope for a better future.”
