The provincial government has announced $16 million in funding to help battle Alberta's housing crisis.
Jason Nixon, Alberta's minister of seniors, community and social services, made the announcement in Calgary on Wednesday afternoon, saying the money will be used for repair and maintenance of government-owned affordable housing facilities that are not in use.
The funding will pay for things like replacing windows and repairing roofs, as well as improving the interiors of the buildings.Arlene Adamson, president of the Alberta Seniors and Community Housing Association, says the funding will play a vital role in maintaining existing properties. These housing units will include high-density development without the need for re-zoning, and clear the way for more development of duplexes, triplexes, and small apartment buildings close to public transit on city land, according to the government. , the government is targeting the creation of 100,000 net new housing units across Canada by incentivizing municipalities to cut red tape by updating their zoning and permit systems to allow for speedier construction of residential properties.
