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.
