Calgary Homeless Foundation President and CEO John Rook: Calgary Homeless Foundation President and CEO John Rook says this is year six of the ten year initiative, according to 660 News. Just before Christmas we purchased the first property and we ll be doing a build fairly soon, he says. Several builders in the city have stepped up and the government has stepped up and the plan is over the next couple of years to build eight 30 unit projects, so that adds 240 apartments to the system and Close to 5,000 people living on the streets of Calgary now have a place to call home since a plan began to eliminate homelessness. He tells 660News theres a real shortage of affordable units so they re getting creative. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
