Through our Attainable Home Ownership Program, we connect builders, developers, lenders, lawyers and others to bring down the upfront costs of ownership so qualifying Calgarians can buy their very own home with a $2,000 down payment. Furthermore, when you decide to buy an attainable home, you're also choosing to pay it forward to help another family in the future. When you eventually decide to refinance or sell your home on the market, a share of the appreciation goes back into the program to fund more developments that will help even more people get a foot on the property ladder.
Attainable Homes Calgary Corporation (AHCC) In a nutshell
One significant barrier to home ownership for many moderate-income Calgarians is the Down payment in Calgary-Alberta. We remove this barrier through an investment partnership. You, as the home buyer, provide $2,000 and we provide the rest to get to the required five percent Down payment in Calgary-Alberta. You live in your home as long as you want. If and when you sell your home, that’s when a portion of the home’s appreciation goes back into the program to pay it forward to future participants. The longer you live in your home, the larger your share to a maximum of 75 percent.

Attainable Homes Calgary Corporation (AHCC) Example
Sometimes it’s easier to understand how the program works when we walk through an example.
Purchase price $220,000
Deposit from you $2,000
Gifted Down payment in Calgary-Alberta we provide $9,000
Your mortgage from a preferred lender $209,000
Say you sell your home after four years and the appraised value is $254,700.
Market value of your attainable home $254,700
Minus your original deposit $2,000
Minus your mortgage amount $209,000
Appreciation (increase in value) $43,700
The home grew in value by $43,700. If you are selling after four years of ownership, you keep 75% of that value or $32,775. The program keeps 25% or $10,925 which is paid forward to more people like you. It’s an investment partnership that works to help you and others like you.
