New Building Information
Progress Report
October 2023
Building Together with WAHS we are committed to affordable and accessible seniors housing that reflects a people first commitment. Getting the best value for our tax dollars
and pursuing sustainability is a responsibility WHMB takes seriously. Watch here for monthly updates.
WHMB submitted its grant application to the Affordable Housing Partnership Program (the provincial grant) on October 16. Alberta’s AHPP brings together partners from public, private, and non-profit organizations to provide affordable housing where it is needed most, by providing up to 1/3 of projected housing costs. The application intake is now closed, review is occurring, and successful grants will be announced in early 2024.
WHMB next action is expediting its CMHC application by preparing a Class B budget with its partners and contractors. If approval of AHPP occurs, application to CMHC for funds (the mortgage) can then proceed immediately.
WHMB is hopeful and excited about the Build Project progress thus far. We would like to share our extensive project developments, including scale models and design particulars, with you. We plan to share this with you early in 2024, once we’re notified of AHPP application results.
August 2023
We’ve assembled and finalized our expert team that moves us even closer to a start date for our new lodge project. The team includes an architect, project management, and construction management firms.
By October 1, this team will have finalized the Class C project estimate and prepared all documents needed for submission to the AAHP grant (Alberta Affordable Housing Program).
This grant deadline is October 16 with a 90-day review period. While waiting for this funding approval, our team will continue to work on further design and development.
