1 Introduction to Inn from the Cold Inn from the Cold (IFTC) has been transforming families’ lives since 1997. Today, we are the largest organization in the Calgary region that’s dedicated exclusively to families that are or may become homeless. We accept any family with an expectant mother or at least one child under 18 years of age.

For families in need we offer homeless diversion and prevention services, emergency shelter when Our vision it’s needed, and supportive housing.

2 Inn from the Cold 2019 to 2020 Report to the Community A message from the Chair of the Board and the Executive Director

There’s an adage in home construction.

Having a solid foundation is key to stability — because the structure’s load is efficiently and effectively transferred to the ground.

While we don’t build houses at Inn from the Cold, we are home builders in an important sense. Our job is helping families overcome obstacles so that homelessness isn’t a part of their experience. Sometimes homelessness is unavoidable and in these situations, our job becomes providing emergency shelter and clearing a path towards a healthy, safe and secure home life.

To be able to do that in the years to come, Inn from the Cold needs a foundation stronger than ever before — one that can handle more frequent and severe storms.

During the last fiscal year, under the new executive team leadership, our staff started assessing operational weaknesses and gaps and identifying opportunities. Shelter operations were transformed into a low-barrier, housing-focused family emergency shelter that provides trauma-informed support. When upgrading our existing kitchen facilities became cost- prohibitive, some creative problem-solving resulted in establishing a nearby commercial kitchen so that we could continue to provide nourishing meals to shelter families safely and efficiently. Technological tools were introduced to improve information management in many departments and better inform organizational decision-making. New people joined the organization, bringing more diverse experiences, talents, viewpoints, and ideas. Collaborative and coaching leadership styles became more common. A more robust governance model was adopted. Lastly, important groundwork was initiated to guide organizational strategic planning for the next three to five years.

A lot was accomplished during the last fiscal year. But there’s much left to do and new, unprecedented challenges to overcome. While Calgary’s economy had been struggling for some time, the declaration of a global pandemic in March has created a crisis like no other — an ongoing public health dilemma combined with an economic recession, the likes of which Albertans haven’t seen for decades. Given all the uncertainty with the pandemic, no one knows what the future holds. We do know that these difficult times will undermine many Calgary families in the long term. And we know Inn from the Cold must evolve to be able to provide the strong support they will need when they call on us for help.

We plan to answer that call.

Munaf Mohamed Heather Morley Chair of the Board Executive Director 3 Highlights from the last fiscal year Transforming the emergency shelter Having a home is essential for the wellbeing of children and families. This understanding guided the transformation of Inn from the Cold’s shelter services to a low-barrier, housing- focused family emergency shelter that provides trauma-informed support. Families in a housing crisis stay in the shelter for fewer than 30 days while Inn from the Cold provides for their immediate basic needs and assists with a plan that addresses their housing, family, and human needs. All of this support is delivered in a way that’s compassionate, inclusive, respectful, and takes steps to minimize potential harm. New commercial kitchen Inn from the Cold opened its 2,589 square foot commercial kitchen in January 2020, which took 11 months from initial search for space to being fully operational. The new kitchen was needed because there were various issues with the existing facilities in Inn from the Cold’s 115-year-old shelter building and addressing those issues would have been too costly and time-consuming. Used to prepare food for the families staying in IFTC’s emergency shelter, the new facility includes ample space and all the required resources all within easy access: an office, a gathering area for kitchen volunteers, extensive cold and dry food storage, employee and volunteer food prep stations, and washrooms. Once the food is ready for transport, kitchen personnel load the meals in the cargo van in thermal carriers and drive eight blocks to the loading dock at IFTC’s main building. Indigenous community For reconciliation we know that Inn from the Cold has work to do with the local First Nations and Metis. Important activities for this process entails training all employees and volunteers, building respectful relationships, providing cultural reparations for families affected by organizational inequalities, and following through with specific actions that demonstrate real and meaningful change at Inn from the Cold. Our focus on this work will continue in the coming years.

Annual open house We invited the Calgary community to attend our annual Open House in December 2019. Visitors included students, donors, government officials, volunteers, former board members, teachers, neighbors, representatives from partner organizations, and Calgarians unfamiliar OPEN with the organization but who wanted to know more. HOUSE On the same day, we hosted a Santa’s Workshop at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church so that all IFTC families had the opportunity to get several presents for one another for the upcoming holiday season. More than 30 families — totaling more than 100 children and adults — attended the event.

4 Inn from the Cold 2019 to 2020 Report to the Community LGBTQ2S+ community Canadian research has shown that LGBTQ2S+ (Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, queer, questioning, and two spirited) youth are over-represented in children experiencing homelessness. To identify ways we could become more welcoming and inclusive, we engaged Calgary’s Centre for Sexuality to conduct an in-depth organizational audit at Inn from the Cold. That audit revealed a variety of opportunities for operational changes across the entire organization, including training. In the summer of 2019, all employees received training in “Creating a Culture of Respect for Gender and Sexual Diversity”, ”Sexual Harassment in the Workplace”, and “Reducing Stigma using Trauma and Violence Informed Care”. Other audit findings will inform annual plans for the next couple of years. Government relations Building relationships with our partners in government is a priority at Inn from the Cold. This effort included invitations to learn more about family homelessness in the Calgary region and explore ways our sector and the government can collaborate.

Six government officials visited us during our last fiscal year: • Jason Kenney, Government of , and MLA for Calgary-Lougheed • , MLA for Calgary-Glenmore • Honourable , Minister of Community and Social Services, and MLA for Calgary-North East • Honourable , Minister of Labour and Immigration, and MLA for Calgary-Varsity • , MLA for Calgary-Klein • Senator Doug Black

Families who experience homelessness Helping families overcome obstacles that can lead to a cycle of homelessness — that’s what we strive to do with every family that asks Inn from the Cold for help. This goal is challenging, in part because the causes of family homelessness are varied, complex and can have life-long effects and generational implications. Circumstances that can contribute to family homelessness include unexpected major expenses, sudden injury, serious illness, family violence or breakdown, untreated trauma, significant financial losses, behavioral addictions, substance abuse, and the accumulative effect of various barriers.

Helping families overcome obstacles is also very challenging. The family’s circumstances affect each child and adult differently as well as the family overall. Families come in all sizes and types, which also adds to the complexity in needs. This understanding informs our approach: by working with each family to customize a plan that addresses the family’s various needs, while building the skills needed for long-term stability, wellbeing and resilience.

A temporary family crisis doesn’t have to lead to homelessness. Some families may need one-time financial help so they can pay the rent and avoid eviction. Others may need referrals to appropriate agencies for counselling, legal guidance and advice, and programs that strengthen employment, parenting, and general life skills. Inn from the Cold’s diversion and prevention service† provides personalized assistance with such situations and, if it becomes necessary, arranges for emergency shelter.

Families who turn to us for help seldom come to us from living on the streets. Families without a home will often live in their vehicle or with any friends or relatives as long as they can. When they have exhausted their available sources of support and have no other place to turn, Inn from the Cold is able to provide safe and secure emergency shelter. At Inn from the Cold, available spaces for families depend on funding levels and the demand for emergency shelter. With the help of our dedicated housing locator services, most families are able to find permanent housing within 30 days of staying at our shelter.

In these situations, Inn from the Cold provides several supportive housing programs. These programs include case management, housing, financial help with damage deposits and rent if needed, early childhood development and wellness programs from Inn from the Cold, and access to various community social services.

Families remain in these programs until they no longer require support from their case managers. Most families leave their program within two years.
