The National Housing Strategy
CMHC continues to deliver on National Housing Strategy and as of December 2022, targets are being met or exceeded. Future years' outcomes will be closely monitored due to the present economic environment. We’ll continue to provide policy advice on matters related to the National Housing Council and Federal Housing Advocate and capacity building initiatives aim to further progress realization of international right to adequate housing. -
Climate change
Climate change is impacting housing affordability. It’s revealing the need for more sustainable solutions. CMHC has established initiatives to reduce energy consumption, promote climate compatibility and resilience of existing and new multi-unit housing, and remove barriers to climate compatible community development. We’ve also explored finance solutions to address climate-related risks, adopted the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures framework and consulted on expectation to advance climate risk management through Guideline B-15. -
Our Enterprise Risk Management Framework
2022 was marked by a hard economic environment with many sources of financial and macroeconomic stress. CMHC uses its Enterprise Risk Management Framework to identify, assess and manage risks according to its risk appetite. Stress testing through the Framework showed that CMHC would remain financially capable to reach objectives under severe scenarios. -
Anti-Racism and Equity
CMHC has undertaken a sustained effort to address discrimination and inequities in the housing system. In 2022, $50 million in funding was made available for Black-led organizations to build housing and creating Solutions Labs to help find housing solutions with and for racialized communities. We also implemented tools to improving data-driven decision making, we’ve increased vendor diversity programming, we have supported anti-racism initiatives and priorities and piloted an anti-racism tool, using Gender-based Analysis plus (GBA+).
