Keep Calgary Affordable
The housing crisis is affecting more and more Calgarians every day. Right now, one in five Calgary households can’t afford their housing costs.
Why it matters
Since the last municipal election, hundreds of thousands of people have moved to Calgary. This influx of new residents combined with lower-than-average building rates has caused steep increases in rents and housing prices.
Not only that, according to the City of Calgary’s June 2024 Inflation Review, the cost of living in our city has increased significantly.
That includes:
- the cost of groceries,
- the cost of building materials,
- the cost of clothes
- all sorts of other inflationary pressures
How you can help
This election, we need candidates who are going to restore Calgary’s affordability advantage for working people.
That means:
- cutting red tape
- funding affordable housing options
- getting serious about tackling the housing crisis
Calgary’s Future is endorsing candidates who are committed to fixing Calgary’s housing crisis and making our city affordable for everyday working people. Sign on now to support more affordable housing and keep up to date on the upcoming municipal election.
