About the Program

The George Spady Society opened its first Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) Program in 2013 and now offers three PSH Programs in Edmonton and area.

  • Balwin Place is a 25-unit building operating in northeast Edmonton in partnership with Alberta Health Services. (See the Balwin Place: Good Neighbor Commitment)

  • The Scattered Site Permanent Supportive Housing Program (SSPSH) provides on-going case management and 24-hour intensive supports to participants living in market housing in Edmonton. 

  • The Cloverleaf Manor Intensive Supports Program (CL-ISP), based in a wing of the Cloverleaf Manor in Warburg, Alberta, is an innovative partnership with the Leduc Regional Housing Foundation and Alberta Health Services (AHS). CL-ISP supports up to 13 individuals in in an inclusive communal living setting.

Our PSH programs provide a safe managed environment for all genders who require significant permanent supports to maintain their independence in the community. The programs operate from a wellness recovery perspective and provides residents with the skills and knowledge required in tenancy. Case Coordinators and Alberta Health Services provide integrated case management services to enhance individuals’ health.

All applications for residence in permanent supportive housing are screened to ensure applicants meet eligibility requirements. Following the initial application screen, a multidisciplinary team will review the applications to determine:

  1. If the applicant requires further tests to determine level of support

  2. If the applicant’s needs match the services offered

  3. Appropriate community resources and supports for the applicant if permanent supportive housing services are not appropriate
