Calgary’s Affordable Housing Boost | Calgary News

Calgary’s affordable housing push just got a major boost with $29 million in federal funding for a new project at Currie Barracks, set to deliver 72 units by Christmas. Spearheaded by non-profit Onward, the initiative prioritizes women, children, and seniors, offering apartments and townhomes priced 20-70% below market rate. The City waived fees and fast-tracked approvals, fueling progress under the “Home is Here” strategy aiming for 3,000 non-market units yearly—after hitting 1,800 last year. This collaboration proves how government, developers, and nonprofits can unite to tackle the housing crunch head-on.
