Partnerships, like the one we have with Accessible Housing, help us support residents in remaining in their homes longer, more comfortably, and living better. We are so grateful for all the hard work you do! Thank you for this beautiful look into our model and partnership.

Each year, our Report to the Community gives us a chance to step back and reflect on what’s been built over the year. And this year, we really got to thinking about what – and how – it's been built to last.

This year’s report, Foundations of Stability, is grounded in that idea. It looks at the conditions that help people feel supported and able to move forward in their lives, and the role community housing plays in creating that kind of foundation.

There’s a lot we’re proud of, and just as importantly, a clear sense of where we’re heading next.

If you’re interested in how community housing can support not just affordability, but long-term well-being, we’d love for you to take a closer look!

The full report lives here:

We're telling the story of how we got to where we are, year over year. And it always comes back to people, places, and partnerships.

Affordable housing is often discussed in terms of new construction — and new homes are urgently needed.

At the same time, many affordable homes already exist and require ongoing care as buildings age.

Supporting both new development and preservation helps communities expand housing while keeping residents stably housed.

At NHA, we’re committed to advocating for housing - and funding - that supports both approaches.

Across Canada, conversations about affordable housing often focus on building new homes — and rightly so.

New development is essential to addressing housing shortages and supporting growing communities.

But another part of the housing system deserves just as much attention: the affordable homes that already exist.

Many non-profit housing buildings were constructed decades ago and continue to provide stable homes for residents today. Maintaining and renewing these buildings helps ensure they remain safe, functional, and affordable well into the future.

A healthy housing system needs both approaches. New construction expands supply, while preservation protects the homes and communities already in place.

At Norfolk Housing Association, long-term stewardship of existing homes is an important part of responsible housing practice. As is creating new buildings that will house our community well into the future.

We recently shared a blog exploring why both new development and preservation are essential to housing stability.

We've been gearing up for growth, having conversations with our Board, staff, residents, and the sector. And getting our house - so to speak 😉 - in order. Now that we've done the internal work, we're excited to explore options and opportunities for increasing access to affordable housing in Calgary. Stay tuned for more as the 'how of it all' unfolds!

Most organizations have values written down somewhere.

But as we all know, the more difficult – and often more meaningful – work is in ensuring that those values guide decisions, especially when the “how” is not always obvious.

At NHA, we recognize that our values are a constant conversation between what we’re doing, who we’re doing it for, and the direction we’re headed in. They’re the lens we use when we’re weighing trade-offs, slowing things down, or choosing the less visible path.

Our latest blog post explores a few of the "behind the scenes" ways these values show up INSIDE that decision-making. Give it a read!
