According to provincial and municipal officials, only six of the 39 affordable housing projects included in Alberta's application will receive funding.
Reid told Global News that all three levels of government aren’t building affordable housing rapidly enough in Alberta to meet the increase in demand, with around 15,000 people in wait lists for affordable housing in the province.
The joint letter to the feds noted “unique” challenges in Alberta and in its two largest cities, including the over-representation of Indigenous peoples in its homeless population and the need for “deep subsidy affordable housing.” Those challenges are being felt by Be the Change YYC, an outreach organization helping those experiencing homelessness in Calgary.
Smith said one of those calls to their outreach phone was from a woman in her 60s who could not afford her rent increase, and requested a tent.
