Civida has long history of providing affordable housing options for Edmonton families. Established as the Edmonton Housing Authority in 1970; in 1995, they became Capital Region Housing. Today, Civida is the largest provider of community and affordable homes in Edmonton. A lot has changed since 1970, but the mission remains the same – to provide safe, affordable housing for all who may need it.
