A Place to Call Home
We are pleased to offer subsidized housing in Alberta for families and individuals facing financial hardships.
We understand the immense value that a secure and affordable home can provide in times of financial strain. Our subsidized rental units offer a strong sense of community, balance, and support.
What is Community Housing?
Community Housing is subsidized housing, designed to ensure that families and individuals spend no more than 30% of their total household income on housing, including rent, heat, water, and sewer services.
We have a limited number of rental units in each community, which are rented based on the greatest need rather than on a first come, first serve basis.
This means there may be a waitlist for new applicants.

Under the Canada-Alberta Housing Benefit, the Federal Government of Canada and the Provincial Government of Alberta jointly provide funding to support the Rental Assistance Benefit Program (RAB). This initiative is part of the National Housing Strategy.
This long-term benefit allows our organization to provide subsidy to low-income families and individuals struggling with rental affordability, in our communities.
