The SHARP Foundation provides life-saving care and support for individuals facing homelessness, substance use disorders, HIV, and other health vulnerabilities. Our work is grounded in compassion and evidence-based practices, and we are committed to building brighter futures for the most marginalized members of our community.
SHARP’S primary objective is to allow the people we serve to live independently with dignity for as long as possible, but also to provide the support needed to decrease isolation and improve health outcomes.
Just as each person is unique, SHARP uses a strength-based and medical approach to case management in order to meet the challenges and demand of the population in which we serve.
Independent housing for residents who demonstrate a need for individualised programming
Two 24/7 care facilities which provide integrated care for those with complex health and higher demand of care.
In 2018, the SHARP Foundation partnered with Calgary Homeless Foundation to open a new care facility named Murray’s House. This residence provides 24/7 integrated care as well as decreased isolation and improved health outcomes for high acuity individuals.
Murray’s House includes 22 bachelor units as well as a palliative care suite, and serves those who are chronically homeless and in need of health supports to live independently with dignity in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
