Who qualifies
Partners include non-profits, Indigenous partners, private developers and governments at all levels; initial investments prioritize shovel-ready projects that can begin within 12 months, increase affordable, non-market and community housing supply, use modern methods of construction, and show financial viability and leveraged funding.
Good to know
- Funding: No program-wide per-project amount found on any official page read this session. Site-specific figures (for example Nova Scotia up to $300 million for up to 1,430 homes) are individual agreements, not program terms. The BCH Investment Policy Framework page (housing-infrastructure.canada.ca) could not be fetched (connection failure); review it directly.
- Notes: Status confirmed from the official portal; no amount is published on pages that could be read, so amount is null. Priority program for a real-estate firm: read the Investment Policy Framework directly.
