Calgary is facing a growing housing crisis. The cost of housing in Calgary has increased significantly over the past year, and currently 1 in 5 Calgary households cannot afford their housing costs.

The proposed re-zoning (R-CG)  allows for single-detached homes, semi-detached homes, rowhouses, secondary suites, and backyard suites. It does not allow for multi-story apartment buildings. This rezoning is also important because it will give the city access to $230 million dollars in grants to build non-market affordable housing.

Please urge your councillor to vote YES for the rezoning recommendation at the April 22nd Public Hearing.
