MESSAGE FROM TRELLIS’ Whether it’s grocery prices, housing costs or even just a cup of coffee, the cost of living in Calgary and surrounding communities continues to rise. A recent poll suggests that 60% of Albertans are having a hard time meeting monthly expenses. We’re all noticing the pressure, but for people already navigating financial instability or other challenges, there is often little room for one more unexpected cost.
supports they need to move forward. While While the number of people we serve remained steady this past year, the depth of support we provide continues to grow, with more people accessing help across multiple areas of Trellis. This is especially important for people navigating complex circumstances. Through our ongoing Transformation Project for Young People in Care, we’re strengthening family connection and connecting youth in Group Care to supports across Trellis. This year, 93% of youth in Group Care accessed more than one Trellis program or service, helping build greater stability and stronger pathways into adulthood. We also took a significant step
When challenges begin to pile up, having the right support at the right time matters. Since Trellis was formed in 2020, we have worked toward a simple idea: people should be able to to enter through one door and connect to the

housing, therapy, childcare, family supports, cultural connection and community resources without having to retell their story repeatedly. This year, our One One Door Door service service navigators navigators helped helped people access the right support 3,310 times.
This growth is possible because of the way Trellis works. A trellis is made up of individual pieces, connected together to create the structure a plant needs to grow. Our work is much the same. Each program plays an important role, but our greatest impact happens when they work together.
None of this happens alone. To our partners, funders, donors, volunteers and community members: thank you. Your trust and generosity allow us to keep learning, adapting and strengthening the connections that help people flourish. Together, we are growing a stronger, more connected community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
That interconnected approach comes to life through One Door. People can connect to

HELPING YOUNG PEOPLE THRIVE BEYOND CARE This year, Trellis served 54 youth across seven group homes. Many of these young people come to us with complex histories that include trauma, broken relationships, mental health struggles, or substance use. The Transformation Project for Young People in Care is a multi-year initiative to reimagine group care. At the heart of the project is a simple belief: young people people do do not not heal, heal, grow grow or or thrive thrive in in isolation. isolation.Stability and belonging develop through trusted connections, cultural identity, practical stability and consistent care over time. This means looking beyond the group home itself to strengthen the people, places and supports that can remain part of a young person’s life long after formal services end. With the second year of the project now complete, we’re seeing the positive impacts of these changes, as we continue to embed practices that will help youth flourish right now and for years to come.

REBUILDING A FAMILY CONNECTION Leah* arrived at Trellis group care with an uncle listed in her family contacts. While Leah had no relationship with her uncle when she moved in, staff knew that helping to facilitate a connection could be a difference-maker for Leah’s future. Over the following weeks and months, the team at Leah’s group home created opportunities for her and her uncle to spend time together. These small moments gradually helped them build a close relationship, giving Leah a trusted family connection outside the group home whom she could depend on. After Leah completed a short-term detox and
recovery program, she recognized that returning to the same city environment where she had experienced active addiction could put her continued healing at risk. Because of her newfound relationship with her uncle, Leah was able to spend two weeks living with him in a rural area and continue her recovery journey in a safer, more supportive place. Rebuilding this family relationship gave Leah an important source of connection, stability and support during a critical point in her recovery, while also strengthening a relationship she could continue to rely on after leaving care.
FINDING ANOTHER WAY IN Ethan loved singing and playing the guitar. Trish, one of the therapists supporting Ethan’s group home, also enjoyed guitar and music production, which created a natural point of connection between them. Knowing that they had this in common, Trish suggested that they play music together during their weekly sessions. Connecting through music was the first step towards building trust. Once Ethan felt he could trust Trish, he began to open up about his emotions and the struggles he was dealing with. For some young people, healing doesn’t start with a formal conversation in an office. It begins through connection, creativity and a trusted adult who can meet them where they are. *Names have been changed to protect confidentiality.

FROM HIGH RISK TO HOPE FOR THE FUTURE LESLIE’S STORY
By combining stable housing with consistent relationships and recovery supports, Raven Raven is is providing hope for some of Calgary’s most vulnerable youth.
When 18-year-old Leslie came to Raven, she was struggling with substance use and other challenges. She needed more than a place to live. She needed a safe, supportive home where she could begin to heal.
Launched in 2022, Raven is a housing and addiction recovery program for young adults. Young people entering Raven have typically cycled through shelters, hospitals, custody and treatment programs without achieving stability. These youth are not beyond help; they simply need a different approach than what traditional systems can offer.
Three years later, Leslie is sober and knows where to turn for support when she needs it. Her journey has included both progress and setbacks, but stable housing, consistent relationships and coordinated supports at Raven helped her build greater stability and move toward a healthier, more hopeful future.
Rather than moving through each system individually, staff at Raven help participants access multiple supports at the same time. Many have difficult journeys ahead of them, but knowing that they can count on staff to support them through their highs and lows helps them to keep moving forward. Addressing housing, health, justice and family needs together reduces pressure on multiple public systems while helping high-risk youth transition safely and successfully into adulthood. This work is changing the life trajectory of the youth we serve and creating the long-term stability that many of them never imagined would be possible.

PREVENTING HOMELESSNESS BEFORE IT BEGINS Family conflict and breakdown are among the most common reasons young people experience homelessness. That means preventing youth homelessness often starts long before a young person needs a shelter bed.
from occurring. This might include connecting a family with settlement supports, a parenting program through a Family Resource Network or another community resource that can help address the challenges they are facing.
This year, Avenue 15 strengthened its focus on helping youth and families address challenges earlier, with the goal of keeping young people safely connected to family and loved ones whenever possible. While our doors remain open for youth who need a safe place to stay, we are also working with young people and their families to repair relationships, improve communication and connect with supports that can help prevent homelessness
We know that strong, supportive relationships are key to long-term stability. By giving youth and families the tools, education and support they need to strengthen or rebuild those relationships, we can help interrupt the path into homelessness before it begins.

In spring 2026, Trellis celebrated the grand opening of Kickstand within our Strathmore Hub, bringing an internationally recognized model into a shared community space alongside Trellis' Family Resource Network (FRN).
connect to the support they need, regardless of where they begin. For Strathmore and Chestermere residents, this is creating a more connected experience, where young people and families can build relationships, access care and move seamlessly between supports as their needs evolve.
Kickstand serves young people ages 11 to 25 through a combination of Trellis-delivered services and support provided by community partners. Within the same building, Trellis' FRN serves young people up to age 24, as well as caregivers and families.
Through our partnership with Kickstand, Trellis is helping build a stronger local system of care where young people and families can find support, build resilience and thrive. Together, we are creating healthier futures for young people and a stronger community for everyone.
While the programs operate separately, the experience for the community is simple: one one welcoming place where people can

FROM CRISIS TO CONFIDENCE: SARAH’S STORY When Sarah first called Trellis’ Bowness Hub in 2023, her life had been turned upside down. She had recently left a dangerous domestic situation and was suddenly parenting on her own. She was trying to work enough hours to support herself and her daughter, Anika, while still arriving at school pickup on time. More than anything, Sarah wanted to leave the trauma of her relationship behind and move towards a safe, stable future. Recognizing the severity of her situation, Trellis staff moved quickly and creatively to connect Sarah to after-school care, food support and financial aid. These resources helped her keep up with rent and utilities while ensuring Anika had a safe place to belong. In their second year with Trellis, staff connected both Sarah and Anika to counselling services. Therapy helped Sarah build the confidence she needed to set healthy boundaries and trust in her abilities, setting her up to build a successful future. One December day, Sarah arrived at the Hub glowing. She had started her own business and was already beginning to see it thrive. That same day, she received grocery gift cards through Trellis’ Winter Breather program. She told staff that, for the first time in nearly ten years, she had been able to fill her pantry andable to fill her pantry and fridge without fear. she had been After three difficult years, Sarah finally feels hopeful. With support from Trellis and her own determination, she is building greater financial stability and feels safer, both physically and emotionally. What began as a search for after-school care became a pathway to greater stability, healing and opportunity for both Sarah and Anika.
