The Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund (CHIF) is part of the Government of Canada’s commitment to address the impacts of the housing crisis on communities of all sizes across Canada. CHIF will provide $6 billion over 10 years, starting in 2024-25, to accelerate the construction and upgrading of housing-enabling drinking water, wastewater, stormwater, and solid waste infrastructure, directly supporting the creation of new homes and increasing densification. 

The direct delivery stream will provide up to $1 billion over 8 years, starting in 2024-25, directly to eligible recipients, such as municipalities and Indigenous communities, to address pressing infrastructure needs and enable more housing. This stream is intended for projects with a high level of readiness, as projects must be substantially completed by September 2031.
