Calgary Dream Centre provides innovative recovery programs, affordable housing, and a supportive community to people who have lost hope along the way.
We believe that no one is beyond hope, that people can find true freedom from addiction, and that compassion and innovation can work together for life transformation.
We are committed to guiding the people in our programs and community, as they move beyond hope to freedom, in the pursuit of a life worth living.
Every day, men and women across our city face challenges that are unimaginable to those who haven’t experienced the cycle of addiction and homelessness. These people come from all walks of life. While their stories are each unique, they all need the same essentials: hope, freedom, and the life transformation that comes from a supportive community.
Some may think these challenges are too overwhelming, believing there’s no way forward. But we see things differently.
We know that hope and freedom are within reach for everyone. Our mission is to guide individuals beyond their struggles, helping them reclaim their lives and move toward a future filled with purpose and freedom.
Our recovery program pairs the most innovative recovery research with a supportive community focused on spiritual development, vocational training, and encouragement to guide our clients from addiction to freedom.
While our recovery program clients are housed at the Calgary Dream Centre, we also have affordable housing solutions throughout the city for men, and women in Calgary who need the transformative power of a safe and stable home.
We believe that recovery is a lifelong journey. After completing our recovery program, clients are invited to stay connected with a supportive community that offers ongoing guidance, resources, and encouragement for a lifetime.
At the Calgary Dream Centre, we are honoured to walk alongside incredible humans who courageously face challenges, find hope and freedom, and pursue a life worth living.
During my childhood, I experienced abuse and was exposed to toxic relationships. There were many times that I found myself in vulnerable situations that would lead me into moments of desperation for hope. The CDC gave me peace in exchange of fear, hope in exchange of anxiety, and faith in exchange of depression…
It’s hard to find a warm place to sleep on the streets. I slept many nights outside in -40 degrees Celsius. Those cold days were the saddest because they would make me realize everything I was missing. If I were to encourage someone walking a similar road to myself, I would tell them it’s never too late to start over. I started my life over at age 50, and you can too!
Going through my program gave me hope that despite my past of addiction, there was a light at the end of the tunnel. The Dream Centre has helped me build a life worth living. Now, I want to continue to help others who come here build meaningful lives filled with hope.
We need the generous support of Calgarians to continue the transformative work of guiding people to freedom, recovery, housing, and hope.
You play an important role in addressing the devastation our neighbours, friends, and community members face through addiction, homelessness, and despair.
We can’t do it without you. Together we can remind the people of Calgary that no one is beyond hope.
We are so grateful for our incredible volunteers! Join us as we serve our community with compassion and respect.
