Holyrood Supportive Housing

Operator announcement

Homeward Trust sought proposals from non-profit community service agencies to operate and provide onsite programming for a supportive housing project in the Holyrood Community. After a thorough RFP review process, George Spady Society has been selected as the operator.

The Holyrood Supportive Housing program operated by George Spady Society (GSS) will provide 63 residents with a permanent pathway out of homelessness through a combination of Affordable Housing and 24/7 onsite support (for residents only). The Program will have dedicated staffing to support the residents and emphasize an orientation towards recovery while meeting the complex physical health, mental health and recovery needs of its residents. As an experienced operator, GSS has known expertise in this model to support residents who would otherwise struggle to maintain housing. Resident move-in/occupancy is anticipated for early 2025.

Additional details including a Good Neighbour Statement of Operations, community contact and issues resolution process will be shared as they are developed in December and early 2025.

We are grateful to our funders the Government of Canada, the Government of Alberta and the City of Edmonton, for their ongoing commitment to efforts to prevent and end homelessness.

There are no current requests for proposals at this time.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We recognize we are gathered, in collaboration and with joint purpose, on Treaty 6 territory. This territory is the traditional home and gathering place for diverse Indigenous peoples. The nêhiyaw (Cree), Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), Dene, Haudenosaunee (Iroquois), Anishinaabe (Saulteaux/Ojibwe), Nakota Isga (Nakota Sioux), Inuit, and Métis, among many others cared for this land since time immemorial and continue to steward it today. As visitors in this territory, we honour the importance of the Treaty and our responsibility to these communities. Only in partnership can we create the changes necessary to end homelessness. It is vital we meaningfully engage and partner with Indigenous people and communities in this work while recognizing and addressing the conditions brought forth by colonialism. Displacement from traditional homelands, systemic racism, residential schools, the Sixties Scoop, and the ongoing overrepresentation of Indigenous people in child welfare, correctional systems, and homelessness are responsibilities we all share.
