Enabling Diverse Housing Development in Lac Cardinal Country

On the behalf of the Rural Development Network (RDN), the Sustainable Housing Initiative (SHI) partnered with Lac Cardinal Country to prepare Enabling Diverse Housing Development in Lac Cardinal Country, which offers recommendations for diversifying housing choice and development in the community. The Enabling Housing Choice North Project aims to provide insight on how rural Alberta municipalities can support growth in their communities and help provide more housing options and choices to their residents through local policy changes and capacity building strategies.

SHI and Lac Cardinal Country’s partnership will support the project’s goals in constructing meaningful policy change while contributing to the Enabling Housing Choice Guidebook. Furthermore, it is intended to assist Lac Cardinal Country in determining municipal tools and areas of opportunity for enabling diverse housing development that meets the needs of Lac Cardinal Country’s residents.

The purpose of Developing Diverse Housing in Lac Cardinal Country is to investigate and analyze the current barriers to diverse housing development in Lac Cardinal Country, while also identifying municipal tools, incentive policies, and areas of opportunity that can be leveraged to enable more diverse housing options. By examining the existing landscape, the report seeks to provide actionable recommendations and strategies that Lac Cardinal Country’s municipalities can implement to foster a more inclusive and sustainable housing environment, while also accommodating the diverse needs of its residents.
