Public Notice to Property Owners – Invitation to Review and Comment on Draft Housing Development Grant Policy

The Village of Carmacks is pleased to share the draft Carmacks Housing Development Grant Policy, which outlines new financial incentives for property owners interested in building housing within the municipality.

This initiative is part of the Village’s commitment to improving housing availability and affordability under the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s (CMHC) Housing Accelerator Fund.

📄 What's in the Policy?
The draft policy proposes two grant streams for eligible property owners:

• Standard Housing Grant – up to $40,000 per new unit (plus an additional $7,500 if permitted by Dec. 31, 2025)

• Major Housing Grant – for 5+ unit developments, with flexible support options up to $40,000 per unit.

🗓️ Council Meeting: August 5, 2025
Council will discuss and potentially adopt the policy at this meeting. A presentation by the project consultants will be followed by a Q&A for residents and stakeholders.
