Description

Build Canada Homes (BCH) is a federal government program tasked with doubling the number of homes built annually across Canada. It focuses on non-market housing, aiming to build homes that are ecologically sustainable using low-carbon materials and technologies. BCH will initially incubate within the federal bureaucracy to identify surplus federal lands for construction and develop building codes. The program is modeled after New Zealand's KiwiBuild program, which delivered fewer than 3,000 homes and left taxpayers with significant costs.
