Housing needs for 20 per cent of Canadian individuals and families cannot be met by the marketplace.
To help, CMHC works with its government, industry, and non-profit partners to improve access to affordable housing for these Canadians.
CMHC’s $2 billion annual investment in housing is improving the quality of life for low-income Canadians, including, seniors, persons with disabilities, people at risk of homelessness and Aboriginal people.
The investment includes approximately $1.7 billion to help Canadians living in existing social housing off and on reserve.
