Quality, affordable housing is critical to the health of individuals, families, and communities.
Homes provide shelter, safety and a place to rest and recharge. They protect us from the elements and help ensure our children get a good night's sleep. Without a home, we lack a sense of privacy, security and community.

Lauren Ingalls, Chief Administrative Officer with Westwinds, was invited to join Alberta’s Affordable Housing Review panel in July 2020. The expert panel was appointed to review Alberta’s affordable housing system and explored ways to improve affordable housing in the province.
Westwinds is the largest provider of subsidized and affordable rental housing for families and individuals living within Foothills County; a key provider of affordable seniors lodge and independent living within Foothills County; and the sole operator of the rent supplement program for those living in Foothills County and surrounding area.

Making a big change, such as moving from your home to a lodge, can be very unsettling. However, there are people that have made the move and wished they had done it sooner.
We would welcome you to share your story to help alleviate the worries and share what it is like to live in the lodge.
