Ten Calgary non-profits have been awarded $1 million in grant funding from the City of Calgary to support affordable housing projects.

The city estimates this round of funding will help 1,400 Calgarians living in or supported by affordable housing and service providers.

The projects will begin implementation later this year and are expected to be complete by late 2026.
