In January 2008, the Calgary Committee to End Homelessness began the implementation of Canada's first 10-year Housing First-based model to eliminate homelessness. Named Calgary's 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness, the plan's Phase 1 was put into action by the Calgary Homeless Foundation (CHF) in partnership with private and public investors. With a focused and multi-sector funding and service delivery strategy, the Plan has benefitted over 2,300 Calgarians over the past three years. The Plan has now been adjusted with the intention of providing the most relevant and effective services possible for the next seven years.
