EDMONTON — The next round of the Province of Alberta’s Affordable Housing Partnership Program is open for applications.
The Alberta government is providing $68 million through the new round of funding to support innovative and sustainable affordable housing solutions for low-income Albertans, a government release said.
“The Affordable Housing Partnership Program fosters collaborative work and prioritizes the goal of making sure all Albertans have access to safe, stable, affordable housing. By working together with our municipal, non-profit and private sector partners, we will ensure we can deliver a variety of affordable housing options to meet local needs,” said Minister of Seniors, Community and Social Services Jason Nixon in a press release.
Public, non-profit and private sector partners can submit their affordable housing projects for funding until Oct. 16. The first round of funding closed in January with approval of $124.7 million in funding for 30 projects. In total, the release stated, the program has funded more than 1,100 affordable housing units across Alberta.
Previous projects through the program included $15.2 million for the City of Calgary’s Bridgeland Place retrofit, $14.9 million for Civida’s Lendrum redevelopment in Edmonton and $14.7 million for Meridian Housing Foundation’s Spruce Grove Lodge Supportive Living in Spruce Grove.
Funding for the Affordable Housing Partnership Program is provided through the National Housing Strategy 10-year bilateral agreement between the governments of Canada and Alberta.
