Housing Affordability

According to a recent RCB report, affordability in the Calgary area housing market is the best it's been in six years. The housing market in the province as a whole has also become one of the most affordable in the country, according to the study.

Maintaining housing affordability is an essential factor in Alberta's ability to attract and retain workers. The Chamber therefore continues to advocate at all levels of government for affordable housing alternatives.
