Affordable Housing
Affordable Housing
In 2009/10, the total number of affordable housing units funded in Calgary was 2,165, including 1,000 units created through The City of Calgary's Attainable Home Ownership Program. The total is based on the units funded by The City of Calgary and the success of RFPs submitted to the Government of Alberta for affordable housing in Calgary.
Current CHF Housing Properties
The CHF's goal is to develop 150 units per year. In the first year (2008/09), the CHF received funding for 80 units. In 2009/10, the CHF received funding for 227 units, for a total of 307 units over two years.
How funding for purchases is typically aquired:
-
70% government-funded
-
30% through a combination of mortgages and donations
-
Interest-free Evergreen Line of Credit provided by First Calgary Savings
The CHF believes the best affordable housing is quickly available, has deep subsidy rentals, is scattered through the city and has a mix of residents.
