The Joint Venture
Ambrose Place is a joint venture with Niginan Housing Ventures, who manage relationships with our tenants. Using a housing first approach, Ambrose Place provides housing and support services within a culturally sensitive environment to Indigenous Edmontonians who are struggling with housing security. Fourteen of the units are dedicated for those seeking safe, affordable housing and the remaining twenty eight units involve a supportive housing approach.
A Supportive Model
Having both supportive housing units and affordable housing units in Ambrose Place offers the opportunity for residents to transition from supportive housing to independent living without leaving the community. The culturally-based supports help residents establish or maintain cultural healing practices that are sensitive to their belief systems.
