Mr. Speaker, generations of underinvestment and systemic discrimination have created a serious shortage of safe, affordable housing and of supports for indigenous peoples across Canada. Build Canada Homes will help address this by financing affordable housing at scale across the housing continuum, in collaboration with provinces, territories and indigenous partners.
The program offers flexible incentives to support non-market and indigenous housing providers to build the affordable housing people need. Build Canada Homes is actively engaged with indigenous governments, provinces, territories and builders to identify early investment and shovel-ready projects.
