Profile

Sarah Woodgate is the President and CEO of Calgary Housing. Under Sarah’s leadership, Calgary Housing has evolved from a regulated authority into a purpose-driven social enterprise serving more than 27,000 residents.

With stewardship of lands that have an asset replacement valued at over $1 billion, the organization is currently constructing 400 new and regenerated homes with an ambitious plan for an additional 1,800 over the next decade. Calgary Housing expertly manages portfolios of homes owned by the company, the City of Calgary, and the Alberta government. Over 60% of the homes are operated as mixed-income, providing affordable rental options to near-market rates. This innovative model does not rely on government operating subsidies and cultivates a strong sense of community where everyone can flourish.

As a professional urban planner, Sarah is deeply passionate about community development and empowering individuals. Sarah has over two decades of extensive municipal and non-profit experience; including managing large budgets and extensive leadership roles in a variety of functions and portfolios.
