Open up your browser or turn on the TV and it's everywhere these days. 20% of Calgarians are currently in need of affordable housing. Rent has increased by more than 35% since 2020. An annual salary of $156,000 is needed to purchase a home in Calgary. Calgary is in the midst of a housing crisis and action on affordable housing is needed now. On September 14th the City of Calgary's housing strategy recommendations will be presented to the council. We strongly recommend that the city council accept all 6 recommendations from the Housing and Affordability Task Force.
