Calgary Affordable Housing Foundation

Charitable status was received on April 1 2018 and CAHF has been in a set up phase since that time. In this current fiscal year there has been activity related to preparing to deliver charitable activities which can be described as follows: The Calgary Affordable Housing Foundation is a community-driven community-led permanent foundation. Our mandate is to facilitate philanthropic public and private investment partnerships to increase the stock of affordable homes for Calgarians in need. We are a dedicated resource for non-profit affordable housing agencies providing grants and running campaigns for capital projects. Our innovative funding framework has been endorsed by the CMHC as a National Housing Strategy Demonstration Initiative. Through our work with CMHC we are documenting our made-in-Calgary affordable housing approach as a scalable blueprint to help communities across Canada address their own needs for safe and affordable housing.
