Ten things to know about affordable housing in Alberta
I’ve just written a ‘top 10’ overview blog post about affordable housing in Alberta. Points raised in the blog post include the following:
-On a per capita basis, Alberta has far fewer subsidized housing units than the rest of Canada
-Some Alberta cities have much more low-cost rental housing (per capita) than others.
-Going forward, the impact of the federal government’s National Housing Strategy will be modest.
-There are considerable cost savings to be realized when investing in affordable housing, especially when the tenants have serious mental health challenges.
