As Friday marks 100 days since the June flood that shook High River and the rest of Southern Alberta, thousands of people remain out of their homes.

The temporary neighbourhood of Saddlebrook was constructed near Aldersyde to provide displaced residents with a place to stay.

Associate Minister of Recovery for High River Rick Fraser says Saddlebrook is at capacity and will be for the foreseeable future.

He says "Saddlebrook is maxed, we've always said 1200-1250 people is the maximum we want to put there."

Residents who live in Saddlebrook are able to do so rent free for up to 90 days, but according to Fraser the temporary residence has been a revolving door so far.

He says "we're prepared to intake people as they need it, but we're also very happy to say congratulations and send them on their way and that's been happening too."

Although Saddlebrook is currently full, Fraser adds there will be another temporary neighbourhood for displaced residents to live.

He says "we've prepared the Great Plains site, which is just East of Calgary and people will be moving in there, it will be a very similar set-up to Saddlebrook."

The Great Plains neighbourhood can house approximately 700 people.

Due to the fact that many residents will be out of their home longer than 90 days, the rent-free period is subject to re-assessment based on specific cases.

Fraser adds "as long as we need Saddlebrook and temporary neighbourhoods throughout all the communities, we'll keep them there until people are back in their homes."
