Trudeau said part of that $2 billion will go toward creating 17,000 new homes in Canada, the majority of which will be affordable housing. He also announced a new five-year rental stream under the Affordable Housing Innovation Fund, applications for which are open to developers who want to use the model from Tuesday. The 2022 federal budget allocated $200 million for a rental scheme.

New spending through the housing innovation fund will also go toward building 10,800 housing units to help address Canada’s supply gap, which economists regularly identify as a barrier to affordability and home ownership in the country.

The third round of the RHI was tapped for $1.5 billion in spending in the 2022 federal budget. In April, the feds said the money would support the construction of 6,000 affordable units, although Trudeau’s announcement on Tuesday estimated 4,500 new builds . Afarian said the decline was due to increased construction costs caused by global inflation, as well as a fluctuating housing market. The RHI launched in 2020 and has so far supported the construction of more than 10,000 units, according to federal government statistics, in two rounds of funding worth $2.5 billion. The federal Liberal budget committed $10.1 billion in spending over five years to target housing. Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said earlier this month that Ottawa will take “additional steps if necessary” to improve housing affordability in Canada. 1:41 Quebec’s first housing summit seeks solutions to housing crisis Quebec’s first housing summit seeks solutions to housing crisis © 2022 Global News, a division of Corus Entertainment Inc.
