Healing House Developments
Human-centred housing that supports stability and connection
With years of experience in both affordable rental housing and program-based housing, we know what works and what does not.
That experience shaped Healing House, a low-cost, thoughtfully designed apartment model that improves health and social outcomes, builds stronger relationships between residents, and creates real opportunities for long-term stability.
We are developing Healing Houses across Edmonton in ways that fit seamlessly into neighbourhoods, each home accommodating just 12 residents. Every project is co-created with the people who will live there, ensuring the design, features, and community spaces truly reflect their needs.
Built for lasting quality, cost efficiency, and human connection, these homes strengthen communities one Healing House at a time.

Parkdale Affordable Housing Information Session
On Monday, March 24, we welcomed neighbours to the Parkdale-Cromdale Community League Hall for a drop-in information session about our upcoming affordable housing development at 8116–115 Avenue NW in Edmonton.
This site, once used by the City as a bus turnaround, will soon be transformed into two three-storey residential buildings we are developing. Each building will have 12 self-contained studio units, for a total of 24 new homes with private kitchens and bathrooms.
What We Heard From the Community
The information session gave us a chance to connect, answer questions, and hear from neighbours about what matters most to them!
Many people told us they were excited to see this land used for housing, especially given its long history as a vacant bus turnaround. The idea of turning it into 24 new homes resonated strongly, with several people sharing how much they want to see more housing options in Edmonton.
We also heard a genuine interest in getting involved. Community members asked about volunteering and about ways they could help residents feel at home once the buildings open. Ideas included hosting welcome gatherings, offering support with forms like leisure access passes, and connecting residents to local supports and events.
Parking was another topic of conversation. Some neighbours raised questions about how it would be managed and what impact it might have on nearby streets. We shared that the majority of our residents live on very small incomes, including programs like AISH, which means most rely on public transportation, bicycles, or walking, not cars. This means the demand for parking is expected to be low, but we remain open to ongoing conversations about how to make parking work well for everyone!
Overall, the afternoon was warm and engaging. We left with valuable feedback, great ideas, and a clear sense that many in the neighbourhood want to be part of welcoming their new neighbours when the time comes.
Summary of key points:
-
Excitement about turning the former bus turnaround into housing
-
Interest in volunteering and helping welcome new residents
-
Ideas for community connections and events
-
Questions and discussion about parking and transportation
