Provides funding for shared public infrastructure to support new multi-unit market housing in Edmonton’s redeveloping area and non-market housing everywhere in Edmonton.
The Infill Infrastructure Fund is now accepting applications for projects that have signed affordable housing agreements but have not yet been issued building permits.
Applications to the Infill Infrastructure Fund are limited to residential or mixed use development projects. At this time, applications are only being accepted for projects that are entirely non-market housing or mixed-market housing and have not yet been issued a building permit.
Applications are required to meet all five of the project and infrastructure based criteria to be eligible for funding.
The development application must be located within the specified geographic areas, based on the type of housing being developed.
Market Housing
Market housing developments must be be located within a node or corridor or within 800 metres of an LRT stop in the redeveloping area as shown on the Eligible Locations: Market Housing Map.
Note: Projects bordering a node or corridor may be considered eligible if the shared off-site public infrastructure benefits sites within the node or corridor and the project meets all other criteria.
Non-Market Housing
Non-market housing development (defined as having a signed Affordable Housing Agreement with the City for the project or an equivalent agreement with another level of government) can be located anywhere in the redeveloping or developing area as shown on the Eligible Locations: Non-Market Housing Map.
Note: Participation in the MLI Select program is not sufficient to meet the Housing Accelerator Fund Definition for non-market housing.
The development project must have at least 10 dwelling units on one titled parcel of land.
The Servicing Agreement associated with the project must not have been executed before August 31, 2024.
The estimated cost of the eligible off-site infrastructure must be at least $100,000 for market housing and $25,000 for non-market housing.
EPCOR Distribution and Transmission Inc. (EDTI) may fund a portion of the costs for this infrastructure; the amount eligible for funding from the Infill Infrastructure Fund is the portion not funded by EDTI.
The eligible infrastructure list is not exhaustive. Applications with other types of off-site infrastructure improvements that facilitate future development on at least one additional parcel or are required to construct active transportation infrastructure are encouraged to connect with the Fund Coordinator to determine infrastructure eligibility.
The initial $39 million budget available for this program was fully allocated in December 2025. In March 2026, an additional $3.9 million in existing Housing Accelerator Funds was re-allocated to the Infill Infrastructure Fund to prioritize multi-unit housing projects that are entirely non-market or mixed-market and have signed affordable housing agreements but have not yet been issued building permits.
Applicants with affordable housing projects who have already submitted a complete application package (not just a screening form) during the initial funding cycle do not need to reapply. The Fund team will reach out directly regarding next steps in the order that completed applications were received. Affordable housing providers that have projects that meet the fund criteria but who have not yet applied are encouraged to submit their projects by completing the screening request form below.
If your project meets the initial eligibility criteria you will be notified by email and be required to:
Complete and submit the Infill Infrastructure Fund Application Form (Adobe Reader required) along with required supporting documentation outlined below. The application form and required supporting documents can be emailed to infillinfrastructurefund@edmonton.ca.

All applicants already accepted into the program must adhere to the following timelines to maintain their funding:
Projects led by Category A, B and C developers will receive 25% of the approved funding amount after the servicing agreement is executed and will receive the balance after the funded infrastructure has been constructed and accepted as in-service, provided eligibility is maintained and timelines are met.
In March 2026, an additional $3.9 million in Housing Accelerator Funds was allocated to the Infill Infrastructure fund for affordable housing projects.
As of December 31, 2025:
*The number of dwelling units and average support per unit may change prior to construction.

The City recognizes that the upfront investment required from developers for public infrastructure upgrades can be a significant barrier to building new housing in existing neighbourhoods. In addition, the first housing project in an area can often be required to cover the cost of public infrastructure upgrades that benefit subsequent projects.
The Infill Infrastructure Fund - part of the City’s Housing Accelerator Fund action plan - was created to help reduce these barriers. It helps cover the cost of shared public infrastructure upgrades to make it easier to build multi-unit market and non-market housing in Edmonton's redeveloping area (roughly inside Henday) with a focus on nodes (urban centres), corridors (main streets) and around transit.
The Fund marks another major step in the City’s work over the last decade to dismantle barriers and lay the groundwork necessary to support Edmonton’s rapid growth and make it a top choice for housing development and investment.
The City Plan sets targets of adding 50% of new housing through infill city-wide and welcoming 600,000 people to the redeveloping area (roughly inside the Anthony Henday) by the time Edmonton’s population reaches 2 million. The goal is to create a healthy, urban, climate-resilient city where Edmontonians of all ages, abilities and backgrounds have access to a variety of housing options and can easily meet their daily needs close to home.
