The City of Edmonton believes that safe, adequate and affordable housing is fundamental to the physical, economic and social well-being of individuals, families and communities. The City of Edmonton Affordable Housing Strategy will guide City involvement in affordable housing for 10 years (2016-2025). The strategy establishes four goals to guide City of Edmonton actions. 1. Increase the supply of affordable housing in all areas of the city. 2 Maintain the supply of affordable and market rental housing. 3 Enable stable residential tenancies and transition people out of homelessness. 4 Anticipate, recognize and coordinate action to respond to housing and homeless needs.
