Community stream in Yukon

On this page

The Build Communities Strong Fund (BCSF) Community stream provides up-front, predictable long-term funding to help address local infrastructure priorities. The agreements were renewed for a 10-year period, starting in 2024-25. Over the first five years, the Community stream will invest over $94.5 million in Yukon to support community growth.

Information for previous years is available at Canada's open portal: Build Communities Strong Fund Community stream Municipal Allocations.

Housing priorities

The Community stream will enable increased housing supply through the following shared housing action priorities, agreed to by Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada and the Government of Yukon for 2024-25 to 2026-27:

  • Work across all orders of government to leverage public lands to meet housing needs. This could include examining the existing inventory of vacant territorial lands and encouraging municipalities to examine municipal lands to determine whether any of it can assist in meeting housing needs, and exploring an approach that supports and aligns with the federal government’s upcoming Public Lands for Homes Plan.

Canada-Yukon Administrative Agreement

The renewal of this agreement ensures that essential infrastructure that supports housing will continue to be built, maintained, and expanded in Yukon.

How the Community stream works in Yukon

  • Currently receiving funding: 23 Ultimate Recipients, including 14 First Nations, 8 municipalities and Unincorporated Yukon Communities. Funds are held in trust by the Government of Yukon, delivered to communities via funding agreements for projects.
  • Funding breakdown:
    • Municipal Governments receive 68% of the allocation. Individual municipal allocations are determined by the Association of Yukon Communities.
    • Yukon First Nations receive 25% of the allocation. Individual allocations are determined via a formula in Chapter 19 of the Yukon First Nations Umbrella Final Agreement. 
  • Unincorporated Communities receive 7% of the allocation. The Yukon Government administers this funding on a needs-based, priority basis, ensuring equitable distribution over the length of the Agreement.
