Canada’s affordable housing delivery engine.
Build Canada Homes (BCH) is a federal Crown corporation created to close the delivery gap. By bringing together land, critical investment, and innovation BCH is building more affordable homes—faster—in the communities where Canadians need them most.
Our Priorities
Build Canada Homes brings flexible financing tools, land, innovation and partnerships to build housing under one roof.
Build
BCH delivers affordable housing by leveraging land, development expertise, and partnerships to move projects from plan to construction.
Finance
BCH uses flexible financing to make projects viable—reducing risk and crowding in additional capital to deliver more housing.
Innovate
BCH is innovating construction through modern methods to strengthen Canadian industry and create the capacity to deliver housing at scale, more efficiently.

Affordability, defined
At Build Canada Homes, affordable housing means spending no more than 30% of a household's before-tax income on housing costs.
Because affordability varies across Canada, BCH uses a place-based, income-based approach that reflects local conditions.
