A Bold Step in Canada’s Housing Future

Build Canada Homes—Driving long-term affordable housing solutions

Canada’s housing crisis is too big to solve with a business-as-usual approach. Build Canada Homes is a new federal agency bringing bold, coordinated investment and modern building methods to deliver affordable homes at scale.

Why we’re different

Build Canada Homes brings planning, finance, industry-building, and delivery under one roof so projects move faster and at a greater scale. We partner with public and private organizations, leverage public land, and promote modern factory-built methods to expand supply while strengthening Canadian supply chains and jobs.

Build affordable homes

Lead planning, management, and construction—fast-tracking large-scale affordable housing projects across Canada in collaboration with partners.

Finance affordable homes

Provides predictable, low-cost financing to support non-market and Indigenous housing providers as they expand affordable and community housing.

Catalyze the housing industry

Create demand for innovative, sustainable building methods like factory-built and prefabricated construction—helping manufacturers scale and supply chains strengthen.

How we work

We are focused on removing fragmentation and creating predictable, repeatable approaches so projects can be delivered more quickly and with greater financial discipline. Key approaches include:

Leveraging public lands to unlock sites suitable for large portfolio projects.
Providing flexible financial incentives and long-term low-cost financing.
Attracting private capital to increase scale and efficiency.
Promoting modern methods of construction and supporting Canadian manufacturers.

Let’s build together

Build Canada Homes is ready to work with partners committed to increasing affordable housing supply. We are especially interested in proposals that:

Deliver housing at scale.
Expand non-market and community housing.
Demonstrate financial viability and leverage other investments.
Use innovative building methods and Canadian-made materials.

We will release detailed investment policies in the coming months to guide submissions. In the meantime, we welcome conversations about potential opportunities and feedback.
