Referral Process

Those interested in living in Community LAMDA can be referred by a Health Care Professional who is involved with 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. 

Contact Alberta Health Services Regional Housing by phone at: (403) 955-6376

After being screened for suitability, qualified applicants proceed to an interview with the LAMDA staff. 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 tenants interested in the Killarney residence will also meet with the proposed roommate. These candidates are interviewed with the roommate present to ensure the mutual agreement 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.
