“I like to give back because without all the people and agencies who helped me get straight, I wouldn’t be sitting here now.”
Our approach
Our mixed income approach helps reduce stigma, promotes community integration, and enhances quality of life for our residents.
On average, a one-bedroom apartment is approximately 40-50% less per month than the average market rate. We subscribe to the Housing First principle: housing is the foundational element to every Calgarian’s well-being. Our team works to serve residents and partners while ensuring quality homes.
Resident information

Please be considerate of others. Avoid disturbing your neighbours with loud noises. Please contact the police with any serious late-night issues.

Resident safety and security is our top priority. Some Onward properties have security camera systems that record video 24/7, while other properties have entrance security cameras. Onward employees regularly tour our buildings.

The Calgary Parking Authority tickets or tows cars illegally parked in fire lanes. Parking in these areas causes safety concerns in the event of a building fire or emergency evacuation.
