Planned spending comes from commitments made in the last two federal budgets. Trudeau joined Housing and Diversity and Inclusion Minister Ahmed Hussen at the announcement, as part of the government’s Rapid Housing initiative.
Most of the promised 17,000 units will be affordable, but Trudeau could not say exactly how many will be built in Waterloo Region and Guelph. A point-in-time count last September found 1,085 people were homeless in Waterloo Region. Some of them lived in a camp along Victoria Street in Kitchener that this summer housed 60 residents, according to a district report.

(James Chaarani/CBC) Trudeau made the announcement at the YW Kitchener-Waterloo affordable housing complex on Blockline Road. “This supportive housing building is now home to dozens of women who are at risk of homelessness or who were experiencing homelessness until these units were built,” she said. The prime minister said the first two phases of the Rapid Housing scheme, which began in 2020, offered more than 10,000 units — 41 of them in the Blockline Road complex. He said 4,500 additional affordable units will be built as part of the third round announced Tuesday.

Housing provides stability, says Hussen

Hussen also spoke about the success of the new Blockline Road building. “This location not only gives ex-homeless women at risk of homelessness a reliable roof over their heads, but also ensures they have the important supports they need not just to get by, but in fact. start to move forward and have the stability they need and deserve.” Ahmed Hussen, federal minister of housing and diversity and inclusion, met Trudeau speaking at YW Kitchener-Waterloo’s affordable housing complex on Blockline Road. (James Chaarani/CBC) Trudeau also promised 10,800 new homes through the Affordable Housing Innovation Fund, with 6,000 of those being affordable housing. He also promoted a “rent to own pilot” for Canadians as part of this program.
Earlier Tuesday, Trudeau and Hussen participated in a roundtable discussion on housing affordability. The Prime Minister was last in Waterloo Region in April, when he also spoke about housing. During that visit, Trudeau visited a Kitchener family and talked about his government’s budget and how it tackled three areas of the housing sector: Supply, savings and reducing speculation.
