Overview
- An internal City of Calgary memo said about $129 million in Housing Accelerator Fund payments was paused pending clarity on citywide rezoning.
- CMHC responded that Calgary’s funding has not been paused and said no official decisions have been made on future installments.
- City chief operations officer Stuart Dalgleish told council the memo was preliminary, apologized for confusion, and said it was meant to flag elevated risk.
- City administration says Calgary is in compliance with its HAF agreement and reports 44,276 housing units toward a 41,858 target set for October 2026.
- Council will debate launching a repeal of citywide rezoning in December, which would trigger a public hearing in March 2026 as the next HAF installment is expected around the end of March.
