Boosting housing supply: Housing Accelerator Fund progress

Canada urgently needs more housing, and the Housing Accelerator Fund is tackling this challenge by supporting the development of new homes.

The Fund incentivizes and rewards local governments for making ambitious reforms to land use planning and development approvals. These changes are driving long-term, positive impacts on housing supply across the country.

Delivering results that matter

The Housing Accelerator Fund is cutting red tape and fast-tracking housing development. Local governments are taking bold steps to increase housing supply.

These results show how the program is turning plans into progress, helping to build more homes.

Action Plans: A roadmap for success

Action Plans are central to the program’s success. Developed by approved local governments, these plans outline ambitious commitments to:

• Remove barriers to housing development.
• Streamline and speed up approvals processes.
• Support innovative measures to build more homes.

While each community’s Action Plan is tailored to its unique needs, they all share a common goal: to deliver more housing than would have been possible without the program. Funding is tied to results, with annual payments based on meeting the commitments outlined in these plans.

Looking ahead

The Housing Accelerator Fund is part of the federal government’s broader strategy to address Canada’s housing needs. By working with communities across the country, we’re helping to ensure every Canadian has a safe and affordable home.
