Several Calgary emergency shelters are moving quickly to get families into homes amid the COVID-19 outbreak. Inn from the Cold has managed to transition 14 families out of the emergency shelter into their own apartments this past week. “It was not safe because we couldn’t physically distance our families,” said Inn From the Cold executive director Heather Morley.
She said with the help of Home Space, an affordable housing provider, the United Way, the provincial government and private landlords, Inn from the Cold was able to get families into their apartments more quickly than they normally would.
Morley said the staff from Inn from the Cold will continue to provide supports for the families at the various locations. [ Sign up for our
