On October 24, Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada launched a new initiative to empower communities across Canada in building resilient, low-carbon housing and infrastructure.

The Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund 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.
