We’ve partnered with the City of Edmonton - Local Government to launch a new initiative that helps faith-based organizations explore opportunities to create affordable housing on their properties.
Faith Lands Affordable Housing Incentive is a great example of the kind of collaboration needed to address housing challenges — bringing together government, philanthropy, and community partners to unlock new possibilities.
Through this program, congregations can access funding for early planning work, helping move ideas closer to reality, and opening the door to new affordable housing in an exciting way.
The $1 million we are investing in this program is part of our broader $20-million commitment to affordable housing — focused on bringing partners together and supporting projects at the stages where they’re most likely to stall.
Together, we can build a stronger, more connected system to create long-term, affordable homes for Edmontonians.

Today, ECF and the Social Enterprise Fund are committing $20 million to help accelerate affordable housing in Edmonton — with a goal of supporting housing for 5,000 Edmontonians by 2028. This isn’t just about dollars. It’s about addressing the financing gaps that stall projects at critical stages, connecting partners who don’t traditionally work together and building tools that can keep affordable housing moving long after this announcement. Through SEF, $5–7 million per year in low-interest financing will be deployed — and as loans are repaid, that capital will be reinvested into future housing projects. Every dollar does more than one job.
We’re proud to be working alongside Civida and City of Edmonton - Local Government — partners who understand that coordinated action is how we build at the scale Edmonton needs.
In 2025, we took meaningful steps forward, granting $1M to 11 housing organizations across Edmonton.
