The City of Edmonton helps create affordable and supportive housing by providing land, construction grants, and development support.
The City also builds supportive housing with funding support from the federal government’s Rapid Housing Initiative and the Government of Alberta. The completed buildings are transferred to Homeward Trust Edmonton to own, manage and contract operators.
Public engagement takes place around zoning changes, if they are required. Like any other residential project, zoning regulates the built form and permitted uses, so community approval is not necessary to determine the location or design, the type of housing or the cost to tenants.
Milestones such as land sales or funding require approval from City Council or a relevant Committee. Anyone can attend or speak at these public meetings.
Learn more about Council and Committee meetings.
The City will proactively share information about City-supported affordable and supportive housing developments with communities. There are several ways neighbours, businesses and community groups may learn about new affordable and supportive housing:
As a project progresses, the developer or operator may decide to hold additional meetings, distribute project information and find other ways to build relationships with the community. This is intended to help build relationships and ensure the long-term success of each project.
To create a city where affordable housing can be found anywhere, we need Edmontonians to welcome it everywhere.

The following sites were declared surplus by the Edmonton Public School Board and returned to the City in 2009. The City is preparing these sites for residential development, guided by a policy (C583A) that prioritizes access to affordable housing, increased housing choice and the integration of housing, services and amenities.
The City will share information with community stakeholders and residents through letters or mailing list updates. Developers will also be required to share information with the community. Learn more about the City’s public engagement approach related to affordable housing.

Zoning: Medium Scale Residential Zone
Status: Undeveloped
Background:
GEF Seniors Housing returned the property to the City in October 2023 after it was no longer able to complete a planned redevelopment. Abatement work for hazardous materials took place in December 2024 and geotechnical testing of the site took place in January 2025 as part of the City’s effort to support future redevelopment of the site into affordable housing for Edmontonians in need.
While GEF will no longer be conducting the redevelopment work, the intended use of the site has always been for affordable housing in order to meet the needs of vulnerable Edmontonians and this remains the City’s priority.
In March 2025, City-contracted arborists removed trees and shrubs from the property. The trees and shrubs were removed to prepare the property for future demolition work and redevelopment into affordable housing. Further information about the redevelopment will be shared with the community when available. Demolition of the vacant buildings on site will also take place later in 2025.

View Map
Zoning: Parks and Services
Status: Undeveloped
Background (2024-2025):
The Edmonton Public School Board (EPSB) declares the Leger site surplus after determining it is no longer needed for a school. The site is claimed by Edmonton’s Francophone school board, Conseil scolaire Centre-Nord (CSCN), for future school use.
CSCN asked the City of Edmonton to swap the Leger school site for a City-owned surplus school site in Henderson Estates and Administration determined that Leger is the better option for affordable housing. City Council approved the swap.
Next Steps:
The City will prepare the site for sale or lease to an affordable housing developer, including seeking Council approval of a rezoning and subdivision.
