Indigenous Affordable Housing Funding Program (IAHFP)

The Indigenous Affordable Housing Funding Program (IAHFP) is a $6 million one-time fund to increase the supply of affordable housing units for Indigenous people in Calgary who need affordable housing. This fund will support housing that is owned, designed, and delivered for Indigenous people, by Indigenous people.

By making this investment, The City aims to:

• Reduce the number of Indigenous households in housing need.
• Increase the overall supply of affordable housing for Indigenous people living in Calgary based on identified and verified needs within communities.
• Increase the number of Indigenous housing units that are culturally appropriate (design and delivery).
• Increase the supply of affordable housing units operated by Indigenous partners.
• Increase the capacity of Indigenous Governments and/or not for profit organizations to provide affordable housing.

Please read this What we heard: Community engagement and research report that was completed in May 2022. It is meant to share some understanding of the affordable housing needs of Indigenous Calgarians.

The Ways Forward: Affordable Housing for Indigenous Calgarians Through a Holistic Plan’ report was approved by Council on June 6, 2023.
