Ottawa will provide up to $220 million through Build Canada Homes, a federal agency formed to speed up the delivery of the housing, while Alberta will pay up to $165 million.
The federal government of Canada and the province of Alberta have announced a joint commitment to construct a minimum of 1,460 affordable housing units throughout the province.
