Accessing Program & Project Funding
Calgary Homeless Foundation partners with community serving agencies, consultants, researchers, and other stakeholders to help fight homelessness in Calgary. In doing so together, we will improve the quality of life for individuals, families and communities.
We fund programs and projects through various public, competitive, and accountable procurement methods such as Requests for Proposals (RFP), grant funding opportunities and other public calls for application processes.
Funding and grants are awarded based on the quality of proposals received and the contribution to Calgary’s homeless-serving system-of-care.
From time to time, there are funding, grant, and project opportunities available. These opportunities will be posted on this page as they are released.

Downtown Day Spaces
Further Information
Calgary Homeless Foundation (“CHF”) is conducting a selection process to retain an organization to provide professional services for a downtown Day Space as set out below.
This RFP is an invitation issued by CHF to interested parties (a person or entity) with the legal capacity to contract (the “Proponent”) to submit a proposal (the “Proposal”) for the provision of the Services. A Proposal does not constitute a tender or represent an offer to create binding contractual relations. A Proposal submitted through this opportunity is not irrevocable. CHF is not bound to contract with any Proponent who submits a Proposal.
This call process targets service providers with sufficient program experience in providing social supports and a safe place for those experiencing homelessness. CHF will consider both current service providers within the HSSC and those outside of the HSSC, provided they can demonstrate the organizational capacity (as outlined below) to deliver the type of programming in this RFP. Service Providers are strongly encouraged to demonstrate collaboration and partnership where applicable.
Day Spaces or Daytime Resource Centres exist in many forms and can be found in Calgary and across Canada. We encourage applicants to look into some of the innovative approaches used across the country:
There are currently no closed RFPs.
