Doors open to new Indigenous housing in Edmonton

The governments of Alberta and Canada will provide more affordable housing for Indigenous peoples in north Edmonton.

Through this important project, Indigenous families, seniors, students and individuals with low incomes will have access to safe and affordable homes in north Edmonton.

Tribal Chiefs Ventures Inc. will offer 32 units of affordable housing across four fourplexes, each with eight units. The buildings are conveniently located close to transit, schools and shopping amenities. Rent for these units is set at 30 per cent of gross household income – the standard for affordability.

Federal Minister of Families, Children and Social Development and Minister responsible for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) Ahmed Hussen and Alberta Seniors and Housing Minister Josephine Pon announced the opening of the first fourplex. The governments of Alberta and Canada jointly provided $6 million in funding ($3 million each). This project creates about 44 jobs.
