Are you an Albertan municipality looking to increase housing diversity, working to attract new residents, or have recently created supportive policy changes and want to explore next steps? The Sustainable Housing Initiative (SHI) is working to support diverse, sustainable, and equitable housing development in rural Albertan communities through its Enabling Housing Choice Project.
The Enabling Housing Choice project will drive transformational, long-term policy change that will benefit Alberta’s rural real estate industry by addressing policy, bylaw and process barriers that realtors, housing developers, and municipalities often face when trying to improve housing choice. It will also help address the lack of capacity in many municipalities while bringing together key stakeholders to work together to achieve common goals. Click this link to connect with Enabling Housing Choice Project (housingredefined.ca) This project was made possible through funding and support from the Alberta Real Estate Foundation.
