Attainable Homes Calgary Corporation

Owning a home in Calgary can be THIS EASY!

The goal of our Attainable Home Ownership Program is to develop 1,000 well-appointed, entry-level homes at a price attainable for individuals and families earning $53,000 - $80,000 in household income annually. We will meet this target through our business plan that provides for quality, entry-level housing for hundreds of working Calgarians and their families caught in the growing affordability gap.

Rising house prices have locked out everyday people from owning a home including nurses, teachers, truck drivers, accountants, computer programmers and mechanics -- citizens who make Calgary thrive and the kind of people we must retain and recruit to ensure this great city's vibrancy and prosperity.
