City approves affordable housing providers to build 387 homes on five City-owned sites
Four affordable housing providers have been selected to purchase five parcels of City-owned land at below-market value in the communities of Crescent Heights, Erlton, Haysboro, Erin Woods and Shaganappi. These developments are expected to create 387 new affordable homes for Calgarians.

New to this round of non-market land sale, Indigenous organizations were given priority in an earlier application period to apply for a parcel of land. This latest initiative addresses all five outcomes of Home is Here – City of Calgary’s Housing Strategy.

“The need for affordable housing in Calgary is greater than ever, and selling city-owned land below market value to these affordable housing builders is a major step toward meeting that demand. By working with trusted organizations, we are not only providing more homes but also making our communities more inclusive,” Mayor Gondek said, adding this effort also supports Indigenous housing.

Land located in the following communities has been approved for sale to the following groups:
- Erlton and Shaganappi to Onward Homes;
- Erin Woods to Siksika Off-Reserve Affordable Housing (SORAH);
- Crescent Heights to Aboriginal Friendship Centre of Calgary (AFCC); and,
-Haysboro to Liberty Housing Organization.
