Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund provides funds for drinking water, wastewater, stormwater and solid waste
Applications opened Thursday for a $1 billion federal program to help municipalities and Indigenous communities build critical infrastructure.
The Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund set aside $1 billion in direct funding for communities to build or improve infrastructure for drinking water, wastewater, stormwater and solid waste management.
Applications opened online today. Municipalities and Indigenous communities are able to apply.
Those applicants will need to demonstrate how their proposals will support the building of more homes.
Housing Minister Sean Fraser said he expects to distribute $1 billion from the program directly to communities by the end of the year.
Fraser also announced the Regional Homebuilding Innovation Fund is accepting applications, which will see $50 million distributed over two years to support housing construction in southern Ontario.
