established in 1980

OUR STORY

THE EARLY YEARS

Norfolk Housing Association (NHA) is a non-profit founded in 1980 by residents of Hillhurst-Sunnyside community. We built our inaugural building, Norfolk House, at that time - but it wouldn't be until years later that the organization itself would take the same name.

Together, through the mixed-income model, neighbours advance an inclusive and respectful community; this ripples out of our buildings and is echoed into the communities that Norfolk serves (and beyond).

In 2018 the association became mortgage free on all of its properties, and this was a significant milestone that we have been preparing for since 2009. That year, for the first time in 15 years, NHA added a building of 24 units to our portfolio.

THE FUTURE OF NHA

The future of NHA looks bright as we move towards increasing our capacity to offer affordable and appropriate rental options for Calgarians. We hold true to our values throughout these changes - that of quality service and affordability for our current residents.

We will embrace collaborative partnerships with both the public and private sectors to create more communities like ours and think creatively about our role in housing delivery.

Our plan will also explore unique and innovative approaches to improving access to affordable units and generating a social return for our community.
