We are…
…a financial institution providing housing finance solutions, evidence-based insights backed by the latest research and data, and we deliver the government’s housing programs.
Rising to the Housing Challenges of Today and Tomorrow
Housing can change the lives of people and communities throughout our country. This belief has been embedded into CMHC since we were founded to help returning war veterans find homes after World War II. Drawing from this legacy, our team works every day with a shared purpose.
CMHC contributes to a well-functioning housing system.
Working Together
Meeting this challenge requires collaboration. Everyone needs to work together – all orders of government, Indigenous partners, the private and non-profit sectors – to develop lasting solutions across the entire housing system. Through our people, partnerships and programs delivered on behalf of the Government of Canada, CMHC is rising to meet Canada’s housing challenges.
Together, we strive to ensure more Canadians have access to what they deserve:
a home they can afford that meets their needs.
Contributing to the well-being of the housing system
CMHC offers housing finance solutions, such as mortgage loan insurance and provides lenders with reliable access to mortgage funding.
Driving informed decisions with housing research and data
