Provides funding for shared public infrastructure to support new market and non-market multi-unit housing in nodes and corridors and near transit.
The City Plan sets targets of adding 50% of new housing through infill city-wide and welcoming 600,000 people to the redeveloping area (roughly inside the Anthony Henday) by the time Edmonton’s population reaches 2 million. The goal is to create a healthy, urban, climate-resilient city where Edmontonians of all ages, abilities and backgrounds have access to a variety of housing options and can easily meet their daily needs close to home.
The City recognizes that the upfront investment required from developers for public infrastructure upgrades can be a significant barrier to building new housing in existing neighbourhoods. In addition, the first housing project in an area can often be required to cover the cost of public infrastructure upgrades that benefit subsequent projects.
The Infill Infrastructure Fund - part of the City’s Housing Accelerator Fund action plan - was created to help reduce these barriers. It will help cover the cost of shared public infrastructure upgrades to make it easier to build multi-unit market and non-market housing in nodes (urban centres) and corridors (main streets) and near transit.
The fund marks another major step in the work the City has been doing for more than a decade to reduce barriers to housing development, making Edmonton a top choice for the investment needed to support Edmonton’s rapid growth and tackle housing supply and affordability challenges.
The Infill Infrastructure Fund is now accepting applications. Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until July 9, 2026 or until all funding is allocated.
$39 million is available for this program. Funding will be allocated to projects on a first-come, first-served basis until July 9, 2026 or until all funding is allocated. Contact infillinfrastructurefund@edmonton.ca for up-to-date information on available funding.
Funding for eligible housing development projects will vary based on the cost of the required off-site infrastructure.
Funding will cover up to 100% of eligible off-site infrastructure costs from a minimum of $100,000 up to a maximum of $4 million per application.
The funding amount will be estimated at the time of application, refined through the development process, and finalized at the servicing agreement stage.
Eligibility requirements must continue to be met throughout the development review and approval process to maintain funding.
Most projects will receive 25% of the approved funding amount after the servicing agreement is executed and the balance will be disbursed after the funded infrastructure has been constructed and accepted as in-service.
Projects must obtain a building permit before November 9, 2026, to receive full funding.
Applications to the Infill Infrastructure Fund are limited to residential or mixed-use development projects.
Applications are required to meet all five of the project and infrastructure based criteria to be eligible for funding.
The development application must be located within the specified geographic areas, based on the type of housing being developed.
Market Housing
Market housing developments must be located within a Priority Growth Area or within 800 metres of an LRT stop in the redeveloping area as shown on the Eligible Locations: Market Housing Map.
Non-Market Housing
Non-market housing development (defined as having a signed Affordable Housing Agreement with the City for the project or an equivalent agreement with another level of government) must be located within a node or corridor as defined by The City Plan, or within 800 metres of an LRT stop and/or transit centre in the redeveloping area as shown on the Eligible Locations: Non-Market Housing Map.
The development project must have at least 10 dwelling units on one titled parcel of land.
The Servicing Agreement associated with the project must not have been executed before submitting an application.
The estimated cost of the eligible offsite infrastructure must be at least $100,000.
EPCOR Distribution and Transmission Inc. (EDTI) may fund a portion of the costs for this infrastructure; the amount eligible for funding from the Infill Infrastructure Fund is the portion not funded by EDTI.
The eligible infrastructure list is not exhaustive. Applications with other types of off-site infrastructure improvements that facilitate future development on at least one additional parcel are encouraged to connect with the Fund Coordinator through the Infill Infrastructure Fund Pre-Screen Form to determine infrastructure eligibility.
Note: The City is committed to infill development. We will monitor the Fund uptake and may adjust fund criteria in response to emerging needs. The fund will remain focused on reducing infill development barriers related to offsite infrastructure.
