Boys and Girls Club of Calgary: The Infinity Project

In 2009, Boys and Girls Clubs of Calgary (BGCC) introduced The Infinity Project: a Housing First program for youth who find themselves on the homeless continuum. It has been in operation since February 2009 and to date has served 58 young people. The Infinity Project provides youth (aged 16 to 24) with a permanent home in the community of their choice and the supports they need to maintain it and become self-sufficient.

Canadian Homelessness Research Network (CHRN) has developed a framework to identify and share promising practices in order to support communities in the development of effective programmatic solutions to homelessness in Canada. This case study is part of the promising practice framework "What Works and for Whom?". You can access the framework and the other case studies here.
