Referral Process

Those interested in living in Community LAMDA can be referred by a Health Care Professional involved in their care. Individuals or family members may express interest through the case manager who completes and submits an online application to Alberta Health Services Regional Housing. To contact us, please call (403) 955-6376.

After screening for suitability, qualified applicants are forwarded to the LAMDA staff who request an interview with the potential tenants. Initial contact is made with the Health Care Professional/Case Manager as continuous involvement is a requirement for the tenants living in Community LAMDA.

Potential Killarney residents also meet with the proposed roommate and are interviewed with the roommate present, to ensure both tenants mutually agree to share the apartment.

Once the Community LAMDA staff members interview and screen prospective tenants, Calgary Housing Company reviews the application to ensure eligibility requirements for the community housing program are met.

Exclusion Criteria: current substance abuse, current dangerous behaviours, current suicidal ideation, and personality disorder as primary diagnosis.
