The City of Saskatoon does streamline some steps, such as a pre-application meeting for a developer, but there is no separate expedited track reserved specifically for affordable housing projects the way some larger cities run one.
A project's timeline through the City of Saskatoon's approval process depends on rezoning, servicing and public notice requirements rather than on whether the finished units will be sold at market rate or priced as affordable housing.
For anyone tracking how new supply might affect Saskatoon's benchmark price of $444,700, the more useful thing to watch is how much new construction the city actually approves each year, not the name of a program borrowed from elsewhere. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
