Officials say they expect people to begin moving in by the end of next year and the affordable units should be priced between 60 and 80 per cent of average market rent.

Calgary's submissions to the federal Rapid Housing Initiative could see 359 units constructed, with move-in dates as early as mid-2021.

Edmonton will use its $17.3 million from the federal government's Rapid Housing Initiative to build 80 units in King Edward Park and Wellington.

The four projects are to be completed within the next year and the units will be geared towards women at risk of homelessness, Indigenous women and seniors.

Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney will push for more affordable housing funding this week at council as the federal government allots $31.9 million in funding to Ottawa.
