Build Canada Homes

Build Canada Homes is a new federal housing agency created to tackle Canada’s housing crisis by building and financing affordable homes at scale and speeding up construction across the country. It acts as a one‑stop shop for affordable housing, making it easier for builders and partners to get land, financing, and expertise to launch large projects quickly.
