Earlier this year, Build Canada Homes released its Report of the Standing Senate Committee on National Finance.
The Standing Senate Committee on National Finance was authorized to examine and report on federal programs and initiatives to support the creation of housing, including, but not limited to, the:
a) launch of the Build Canada Homes agency and how it will coordinate its operations with those of the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation in the delivery of affordable housing programs;
b) conversion of federal lands into opportunities for housing development;
c) off-site construction;
d) role of municipalities; and
e) development of affordable housing.
The Committee made ten recommendations to more Build Canada Homes forward in increasing the supply of non-market housing across the country.
In its role to build and renew affordable housing in Niagara, there are a number of opportunities for CLT Niagara to work with Build Canada Homes and municipal, provincial, and federal orders of government to build permanently affordable housing in Niagara’s communities.
