The City of Airdrie defines housing as affordable when residents have access to safe and secure housing that costs no more than 30 per cent of an individual's household income and meets the basic needs of an individual and/or family.
To create a future where all residents have access to safe and secure housing that is achievable on their income, the City's role is to enable an environment for non-profit providers and developers to establish the types of homes (below-market and market) to serve our residents in need, including those with low to moderate income levels.
