The nearly $29 million the Government of Canada confirmed last Thursday, July 16, for Currie, one of Onward's active developments in southwest Calgary.

At its Industry Awards, the Calgary Residential Rental Association named Onward its Social Housing Provider of the Year.

The City of Calgary announced approximately 566 new non-market homes for Calgarians will be created through the award of the second and final round of the Housing Capital Initiative (HCI).  

Ali Sadaka never imagined that the affordable housing building where his family found refuge in 2008 would become his workplace, and eventually, his career.

Our approach at Onward is rooted in a mixed-income model. This means we create diverse and vibrant communities by balancing near-market rents with deeply subsidized housing for individuals and families on limited incomes.

Onward has released its 2024/25 Report to Community, spotlighting a year of remarkable growth, partnership, and resident-focused innovation. In the first months of the 2025/26 fiscal year, the organization added more than 500 new homes to its portfolio, bringing the total to 2,225 units and housing approximately 3,000 Calgarians.

For more than a decade, Onward has shared seasonal cheer with residents by delivering a Gift of Warmth to every home. This past holiday season marked the fourth year that gift has been a pantry item from Twisted Canning Co., a one-woman operation from Langdon, a hamlet about 35 km east of Calgary.

Onward is officially breaking ground on a new affordable housing development in Calgary’s community of Currie. The project will bring 72 new mixed-income homes to the city, supported by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s (CMHC) Federal Lands Initiative, Canada Lands Company and the City of Calgary’s Housing Incentive Program.
