Calgary’s housing affordability crisis is escalating fast. Housing prices in Calgary are skyrocketing, and people can’t afford to pay. We need to take action to fix the crisis and keep our city affordable.
Right now over 80,000 Calgary households are in need of affordable housing, and those numbers are rising. Each year in Calgary, 2,000 more renters are in need of affordable housing while only 300 new units are built annually. We need more affordable housing and we need it fast.
Decades of underinvestment have put us in a tough spot: Calgary is playing catch up at a critical time. That’s why it’s so important for us to speak up. If thousands of Calgary voters sign the petition for more affordable housing, we can influence our leaders to take immediate action.
Add your name to the petition right now to demand that the City of Calgary commit to more affordable housing.
