About Calgary Housing Company
Calgary Housing Company (CHC) is the largest residential landlord in Calgary – a city of 1.25 M people located in the western Canadian province of Alberta. Canada’s 4th largest city, Calgary is a diverse community (over 1/3 of Calgarians are from a visible minority) that has consistently ranked as one of the most livable cities in the world. Calgary’s economy is rapidly diversifying from its traditional leadership in energy to include significant strength in technology, financial services, transportation and logistics, manufacturing, and tourism.
CHC provides safe and affordable housing solutions for low- and moderate-income Calgarians in need of non-market rental housing. We operate over 7,000 housing units and administer approximately 2,500 private landlord rent supplements. We meet tenant needs through our varied programs, which include:
subsidized housing
near market rentals (approx. 10% below market rates)
rent supplements for tenants with private landlords
Our building management strategy uses a “mixed income model” that combines near-market rates with deep subsidies. By balancing the proportion of units within an individual building, CHC ensures that new affordable housing developments are financially sustainable while providing an inclusionary approach to housing where tenants of mixed financial means are blended together.
Calgary Housing Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The City of Calgary. CHC is currently undergoing a significant transformative process with an emphasis on sustainability, mixed-income models, community and organizational diversity and inclusion, and acknowledgement of traditional aboriginal lands and reconciliation.
