Homeward Bound Indigenous Housing Initiative

Community, culture, and housing come together at the Aboriginal Friendship Centre of Calgary (AFCC).

We are proud to offer the Homeward Bound Indigenous Housing Initiative. This program is designed to support community members through wrap-around case management services using a trauma-informed approach.

Our dedicated team focuses primarily on securing and maintaining housing stability, alongside assistance with physical health, mental health, cultural connections, and substance use.

What is Provided?

Participants in the Homeward Bound program receive dedicated support, including:

  • Wrap-around case management

  • Housing support and stability planning

  • Cultural connection

  • Life skills development

  • Medical referrals

Eligibility

  • Target Audience: Single adults, 18 years of age and older.

  • Inclusivity: This is a referral-based program that is primarily Indigenous-focused. However, services are provided in a non-discriminatory and inclusive manner, and individuals of all cultural backgrounds are welcome.

How to Apply (Registration Required)

Please note: Registration and a completed referral are required to participate in this program. We are unable to accommodate walk-in appointments for these services.

If you or an agency you work with would like more information, or to obtain the required referral form, please reach out to our Cultural Outreach Housing Coordinator, Cassie Aucoin:
