Indigenous Housing Grant Stream
Indigenous people disproportionately experience homelessness and housing insecurity in Edmonton. Across the city, 1 in 4 renter households struggle to cover housing costs. Among Indigenous renter households, it’s 1 in 3.
The Affordable Housing Investment Program includes a grant stream specifically for Indigenous-led housing providers. It provides limited capital funding to Indigenous organizations to build new affordable housing units and/or rehabilitate existing affordable housing units.
The City provides up to 25% of total capital costs for affordable housing. Grants of up to 40% will be considered for proposals that include deep subsidies for priority groups, such as women and children fleeing domestic violence, exceed energy efficiency targets, and provide larger units.
