Attainable Homes

Attainable Homes Calgary Corporation (AHC) is a non-profit housing organization owned by The City of Calgary. AHC operates independently from The City and reports on its activities every year to City Council.

Attainable Homes began in 2009 with a mandate to help moderate-income Calgarians achieve the dream of homeownership. Since then, AHC has helped over 1,100 Calgarians and their families own a home of their own through the assistance of a down payment loan.

Given the shortage in supply of affordable housing, AHC's Shareholder (City Council) has approved an expanded mandate for the organization. AHC creates non-market affordable housing on development-ready land on behalf of The City of Calgary and its citizens. City properties have been identified for AHC on which affordable housing will be developed through ownership and rental tenures.

AHC is motivated by the housing shortage to do its part to contribute to the 3,000 affordable units needed in Calgary every year. The AHC website will indicate homes available for purchase and rental as they become available. Stay informed about updates to development projects through AHC’s Facebook and Instagram channels.
