Finance affordable homes
Build Canada Homes will offer stable, long-term, low-cost financing to private and non-profit housing providers—empowering them to grow their portfolios and prioritize affordable housing.
We will approve projects in bulk and prioritize multi-year projects that use innovative building methods and serve diverse populations, including students, seniors, and Indigenous communities.
Through federal investments, Build Canada Homes will:
- Provide long-term financing for housing builders.
- Invest in urgently needed housing: supportive and transitional housing, Indigenous housing, and deeply affordable units.
- We will also work with provinces, territories, municipalities and Indigenous communities to improve access to supportive and transitional housing.
What this means for Canadians
- A broader range of affordable housing options for low- and middle-income Canadians—including workers, families, students, and seniors—who are increasingly priced out of the market
- Expanded access to transitional and supportive housing for those facing homelessness or housing insecurity
- A housing supply that better reflects the diverse needs of Canadians
- Coordinated national efforts to improve housing stability across communities
What this means for the economy
- Predictable, long-term investment in housing development
- Growth in the non-market housing sector with reduced reliance on subsidies
- Economic stimulus through construction, financing, and community development
