Affordable Housing Partnership Program Guidelines

The Affordable Housing Partnership Program (AHPP) is the capital program for implementing the Government of Alberta’s funding commitment in alignment with Stronger Foundations, Alberta’s 10-year strategy to improve and expand affordable housing.

The AHPP is different from a traditional public-private partnership (P3) approach, specifically those identified in Alberta’s Public-Private Partnership Framework and Guideline (2020). For traditional P3 projects, the public sector retains ownership of the infrastructure, whereas affordable housing developments under the AHPP will be owned by private and non-profit organizations rather than the government, in keeping with the recommendations of the affordable housing review panel.

Stronger Foundations identifies how the government will put into action the 19 recommendations it accepted in December 2020 from the Affordable Housing Review panel for the transformation of Alberta’s affordable housing system.
