Details
Initiatives include transferring the government portfolio to a national Indigenous-lead housing authority, while housing projects continue to be funded by the federal government’s combined $16 billion allocation from the last three years. Meanwhile, provincial leaders are launching new funding initiatives that will support both on- and off-reserve housing that will allow for greater continuity of housing requirements for people and communities.
