Catalyze the housing industry

Build Canada Homes will help transform Canada's housing industry by generating demand for new and innovative building methods like factory-built housing.

We will help Canadian manufacturers scale up operations, strengthen supply chains, and create high-paying, sustainable jobs.

Through bulk procurement and long-term financing and supporting Canadian technologies, we will scale up modern construction methods like modular and factory-built housing.

We will adopt the new Buy Canadian policy and prioritize projects that use Canadian lumber, steel, aluminum, and mass timber.

Canada needs to build on our strong workforce to build our communities strong. As Build Canada Homes catalyzes a more productive housing industry, notably on federal lands, we will provide additional consideration to organizations providing apprenticeships and unionized labour as Build Canada Homes delivers on its ambitious agenda. Build Canada Homes will continue to assess where opportunities to enable the success of the workforce sector exist.
