Federal government moves ahead with plan to build more homes in Alberta

The City of Airdrie is getting $24.8 million dollars to build new homes in the fast growing community north of Calgary. The money, from the federal government, has been provided through its Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF). It will be used to build more than 900 homes in Airdrie over the next three years. In making the announcement, federal Housing Minister Sean Fraser said the money will come in stages, with 25 per cent up front, and an additional 25 per cent over each of the next three years. Fr
