Templemont Place and Gardens opened Tuesday in Calgary with 120 more affordable housing units for seniors thanks to financial support from all levels of government.
Low-income seniors in northeast Calgary have more options to stay near the communities they’ve lived in thanks to a new development.
Templemont Place and Gardens opened Tuesday with 120 more affordable housing units for seniors thanks to financial support from all levels of government.
“The impact that these new homes will have cannot be understated,” Calgary Skyview MP George Chahal said at the opening.
“It will allow seniors to remain in the community that has been their lifelong home, providing an opportunity for them to age comfortably in place. It will ensure that they can enjoy safety and stability in a home that meets their needs.”
The project built by Trinity Place Foundation consists of two buildings connected through an underground parking garage and shared mechanical equipment. The one- and two-bedroom units feature an outdoor courtyard and common rooms at below-market rents.
“The housing that’s being provided here, it’s more than just a roof over your head. It is a community within this building,” Minister of Emergency Preparedness Bill Blair said.
“So very often in affordable housing efforts, we don’t really provide that opportunity for community space. This has clearly been designed with intent, in tangible quality of their lives as well, to give them an opportunity not only to live in this extraordinary facility, but also a place where they can live together, where they can make friendships, and it will improve the quality of their life.”
Blair, who was in Calgary on behalf of Minister of Housing and Diversity and Inclusion Ahmed Hussen, said the federal funds that went to the project were in response to an increasingly aging population and the responsibility to make sure seniors have access to housing.
