HOUSING ACCELERATOR FUND

The City of Calgary has entered an agreement to access up to $228.5 million from the Federal Government's $4 billion, Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF).  This link will open the City's website for the HAF and provides further details, including a pdf copy of the agreement available for download.  Schedule "A" states the first of four, $57.1 million advances will take effect on March 31, 2024.   The City of Calgary executed this agreement last October 27, 2023, prior to the April 22, 2024 vote by City Council whether or not to implement blanket rezoning on April 22, 2024. 

 

In answer to one of the FAQ's, "Will the rezoning decision impact HAF funding?", the City's website states, "If Council does not approve the rezoning on 2024 April 22, the final HAF payment may be impacted."   The website also states the City of Calgary's Secondary Suite Incentivization program will be funded from the City's share of the HAF funding.

LAND USE DISTRICTS

This link takes you to the City's website for Land Use Districts.  Here you can select and display on a dynamic map, any, or multiple combinations, of Land Use Districts (as presently defined) from across Calgary.  The resultant map enables an understanding of the distribution of any particular Land Use District in Calgary.  


As an example, the map below shows the current distribution of R-CG Land Use Districts as of April 17, 2024.  R-CG zoning was first introduced in 2014 as a new land use.  It was primarily utilized within inner city or established communities.
