Calgary making ‘significant strides,’ but still lagging in key housing strategy targets

Calgary's "Home is Here" housing strategy aims to address the city's housing crisis over seven years by increasing both market and non-market housing supply. While significant progress has been made, with 80% of actions underway and a record number of development permits issued, challenges remain. The city’s non-market housing stock is only 2%, below the national average. Housing affordability continues to be a concern, with rising prices outpacing income growth. Council members acknowledge the need for more affordable housing, particularly for families.
