Calgarys Indigenous Housing Initiative: A $33M Investment in Affordable Units

Calgary has launched a significant Indigenous housing initiative, allocating $33M to create 379 affordable units across the city. The program, named Maa’too’maa’taapii Aoko’iyii’piaya in Blackfoot, aims to address the housing crisis affecting Indigenous communities, with 40% of homeless individuals being Indigenous. The initiative, part of the citys broader housing plan, provides planning grants and funding for five projects, with groups like the Aboriginal Friendship Centre and Siksika Nation leading the way. Despite the $33M budget, demand was so high that some applicants were turned away, making this the citys largest investment in Indigenous-led housing.
