Last week The City of Calgary released its new Housing Strategy. The strategy is The City’s response to the current housing crisis and the long term need to address housing affordability. One in five households in Calgary are unable to afford where they currently live. In response, much needs to be done to improve housing affordability for all Calgarians.

Affordable Housing, including the programs operated by Calgary Housing Company, will be impacted by the strategy.
