Thanks for the question. We are prioritizing the build communities strong fund to invest in community infrastructure that enables housing to be built. There's no question that we have an infrastructure deficit across the country. In my former role as a mayor, we always talked about the infrastructure deficit that local governments could not solve on their own. I think the $51 billion in the new fund will help us start catching up on the infrastructure that's needed, particularly to build housing in rural communities.
At the same time, we need to be more strategic and more efficient with the land that is already serviced by infrastructure, and that infill development is going to be really important in small to large communities. That's where the housing accelerator fund has been helping to deliver. Anywhere we can build where there's existing infrastructure, we need to be pursuing that and making good use of that infrastructure.
The build communities strong fund is an unprecedented investment in housing-enabling infrastructure that will help communities of all shapes and sizes.
