Here are some updates related to new City initiatives and programs.
Secondary Suite Incentive Program Launch
To encourage safe and accessible housing, the City has launched its Secondary Suite Incentive Program as part of our official Housing Strategy. It provides qualifying homeowners with up to $10,000 to cover a portion of costs to develop and register a safe secondary suite. Only suites built within main dwellings are eligible to apply for the following:
• Egress windows
• Hardwired and interconnected smoke and carbon monoxide alarms
• Protected exiting
• Smoke-tight barriers
• Split heat/separate air
Additional funding is also available for accessibility and energy efficiency. View the full details and application process at calgary.ca/suite-incentive.
Call for Volunteers: Older Adult Advisory Table
If you have first-hand insight on living as an older adult or as a caregiver to one, your insights and ideas are needed. Consider volunteering for the Older Adult Advisory Table to help inform strategies and actions for the Age-Friendly Calgary Steering Committee. The Committee is tasked with advising on ways to help make Calgary more age friendly.
Requirements are:
• Aged 45+
• Live in Calgary
• Understanding of older adults’ needs now and/or in the future
• Commitment to monthly meetings on a two-year term
Apply by September 11 at calgary.ca/OATT.
