Housing Supply Challenge Support Program
We help applicants of the Housing Supply Challenge by providing guidance, mentorship and the resources needed to develop and improve their submission.
What is the Housing Supply Challenge?
Led by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), the program encourages residents, communities, interested individuals and groups, and experts from across Canada to propose innovative solutions that help break down the barriers that limit new housing supply. Each round awards proposals that address housing supply barriers such as building timelines, construction productivity, and improving data on land availability.
