As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread across the globe, the Calgary Homeless Foundation is establishing new ways to keep vulnerable populations safe amid the outbreak.

In partnership with the City of Calgary and Alberta Health Services Calgary region, the foundation has established assisted self-isolation rooms for people who are dealing with homelessness and also displaying symptoms, have tested positive for, or have been exposed to the COVID-19 virus.
