New Supporting Affordable Housing Transformation Resources


We are excited to launch a new Supporting Affordable Housing (SAHT) microsite. The site offers resources and tools created by ASCHA to support affordable housing transformation in Alberta and beyond. Special thanks to ASCHA’s Affordable Housing Task Force for their leadership in this work, and to the Community Housing Transformation Centre for funding this project.

As part of our Supporting Affordable Housing Transformation (SAHT) grant, we delivered asset management tools, an interactive data map of all affordable housing across the province, and resources to inform working with indigenous tenants and organizations in a good way. While these resources had previously been available in the Members Only Area of our website, they have been revamped and now located in one place on our new SAHT microsite. Our affordable housing transformation resources will continue to grow as our work progresses through Phases 2 and 3 of the SAHT project – with even more features, research and interactive tools to assist our members.

All Regular Member organizations have access to the microsite by using the same login credentials they use for the Members Only Area of the ASCHA website. Note that one login has been created per organization. Need assistance with your log-in credentials? Please contact us!

While we had previously announced dates for our 2025 Home for Housing Convention & Trade Show, we were made aware of a significant scheduling conflict with another important sector event. As such, ASCHA is rescheduling our event to March 30 – April 2, 2025.

As this is our 60th anniversary Convention and Trade Show, we wanted to ensure everyone could join.

The location/venue remains the same: Edmonton Convention Centre in Edmonton, Alberta
