The new facitility will include 100 private units with private washrooms, 90 childcare spaces, in-house employment and counselling resources, a fitness and wellness space, and a community kitchen.

It's a project fully developed by women, with an all-female executive board and architectural team.

[...]

YWCA Calgary board chair Rebecca Morley called it a one-of-a-kind infrastructure project in the city.

"Led by women, envisioned by women, and executed by women – for women," Morley said.

"Soon, women fleeing violence, experiencing poverty, homelessness, or isolation will have a brand new space to call home, where they can begin their journey from surviving to thriving."

The total cost of the project will be approximately $60 million, which includes investments from YW Calgary, private philanthropy, and all levels of government.
