Calgary grants $1M in funding to 10 non-profit organizations for affordable housing initiatives

CALGARY, ALTA. – The City of Calgary is awarding $1 million in grant funding to 10 non-profit organizations to deliver affordable housing as part of the city’s Home Program.

The Home Program was launched in 2017 and has since funded over 100 projects.

“These projects have demonstrated high responsiveness to issues impacting Calgarians in housing need, approximately half of the awarded projects are focused on housing supports for Indigenous people, Black and racialized and equity deserving populations. Funding from the Home Program continues to stimulate impactful positive change in the housing system,” said City of Calgary chief housing officer Jeff Chase in statement.

“From this round of funding, it is estimated that over 1,400 Calgarians living in or supported by affordable housing and service providers will receive support.”

The 10 organizations with funded projects from the Home Program are:

  • Calgary John Howard Society
  • Closer to Home
  • Distress Centre
  • Highbanks Independent Living for Parenting Youth Society
  • Miskanawah Community Services Association
  • Momentum
  • Siksika Off-Reserve Affordable Housing Project Limited

Approved projects will begin implementation later in 2024 and will be completed by late 2026, the release said.
