While many of us celebrate the joys of being with our loved ones this Family Day, more than 200 Calgary families will face the heartbreaking reality of not knowing where they’ll sleep at night. For too many, finding and maintaining stable housing is a constant and overwhelming burden, especially as rents continue to rise and vacancy rates dwindle. 
  
But a temporary crisis shouldn’t have to lead to homelessness.
  
Thanks to the generosity of donors, families facing a housing crisis can access the supports they need to remain in their homes through The Inn’s Prevention and Diversion program. And when staying in their existing home is no longer an option, this program helps families find the housing they need as quickly as possible and empowers them in getting back on their feet.
  
This Family Day will you donate to keep more families out of the cold?
  
 After being laid off from his job at an oil and gas firm, Matt and his wife Michelle found themselves struggling to provide for their three young children as the financial and mental stress mounted.
  
“Inn from the Cold provided us a lifeline when we really needed it"
  
 With a little help from Calgarians like you, Matt, Michelle and their children were able to stay in their home and continue making memories.
  
 When you donate to the Inn, you are making a tangible difference in the lives of families facing homelessness. Your gift is preventing homelessness, provides stability in times of crisis and brings us one step closer to a future in which no child or family experiences homelessness.
  
This Family Day, please join us in ensuring families like Matt’s never have to enter the cycle of homelessness.

PS. One of the best ways of breaking the cycle of homelessness is by helping as many families as possible never experience it. That’s why funds raised this Family Day weekend will directly support the Inn’s Prevention and Diversion program. Thank you for making a real difference for families facing homelessness.
