Calgary John Howard Society
Bedford House is a crucial part of the Calgary community that provides much-needed transitional housing and support for men integrating back into society after spending time in prison. Bedford House offers services to tenants that decrease the likelihood of reoffending – employment and educational programs, life skills, therapy, curfews, check-ins and more. With a home, job prospects and skills for living in mainstream society, it is much less likely an individual will reoffend. This ultimately creates safer communities by giving men the tools to be responsible, contributing members. Design: Support: *Rendering and project features are subject to change Gordon Sand, Executive Director “This kind of housing gives people who are exiting the justice system the supports they need to become responsible members of the community. The new Bedford House will help approximately 100 people per year make a successful transition. We can achieve this more effectively as a collaborating Partner in RESOLVE.” — Gord Sand, Executive Director Links: View our other Partners:
