Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund provides funding for drinking water, wastewater, stormwater and solid waste
Applications opened Thursday for a $1 billion federal program to help local governments and Indigenous communities build critical infrastructure.
The Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund has set aside $1 billion in direct funding for communities to build or improve infrastructure for drinking water, wastewater, stormwater and solid waste management.
Online application has started from today. Local governments and indigenous communities can apply.
Applicants must demonstrate how their proposals support the construction of more homes.
Housing Minister Sean Fraser said $1 billion from the program will be distributed directly to communities by the end of the year.
Fraser also announced that the Regional Housing Construction Innovation Fund is now accepting applications and will distribute $50 million over two years to support housing construction in southern Ontario.
