Although it is one of Canada’s
major cities, not everyone who lives in Calgary can afford to live in
a decent home. In other countries, housing assistance for the
elderly, the disabled, and low-income individuals is offered in the
form of vouchers; the Calgary
Housing Company (CHC), on the other hand, provides actual housing
units. These properties are funded and supported by the local
government to help out the less privileged.
The CHC operates and manages about
10,000 housing units for rent, which are primarily intended for
low-income families. Unlike some residential properties for sale in
the city's real estate market, CHC housing units are guaranteed to be
built according to high standards and come complete with basic
amenities that some houses lack. The CHC strives not only to provide
affordable housing but also to create solid and happy communities.
These things
are made possible through the city's support services, especially
those related to healthcare and home security. The CHC also
encourages tenants to be more proactive by participating in community
activities like agency resource fairs, community BBQs, clean-up
activities, and seminars. Aside from fostering a sense of community,
these activities also aim to educate low-income households about
parenting, community engagement, social development, and the like –
things that any
community should have.
