Build Canada Homes
Driving long-term affordable housing solutions
Canada's housing crisis is too big to solve with a business-as-usual approach. That's why the federal government is taking a bold new approach with unprecedented investments, to increase housing supply in Canada.
Build Canada Homes is a new federal agency that will build affordable housing at scale. It will leverage public lands, offer flexible financial incentives, attract private capital, facilitate large portfolio projects, and support modern manufacturers to build the homes that Canadians need.
What makes us different?
Build Canada Homes will work differently. By combining flexible financial tools, land access, and development expertise under one roof, we will make it simpler and faster to get big projects off the ground. By prioritizing modern methods of construction such as factory-build housing, we will spark a more productive homebuilding industry.
Build Canada Homes has three primary functions:
Build affordable homes
Lead the planning, management, and construction of affordable housing, fast-tracking large-scale housing projects across the country—in collaboration with partners—bringing more homes to Canadians, faster
Finance affordable homes
Provide predictable, low-cost financing to support non-market and Indigenous housing providers to grow affordable and community housing in Canada
Catalyze the housing industry
Help generate demand for innovative and sustainable building methods like factory-built and prefabricated construction—helping manufacturers scale up, strengthen supply chains, and create sustainable jobs
