On behalf of the Government of Canada.<\/em><\/p>\n

Right now, in communities across the country, building the housing we need, especially affordable housing, is too hard. That\u2019s why the federal government is working with municipalities to break down barriers and build more homes, faster so Canadians \u2013 from young families, to seniors, to newcomers \u2013 can find a place to call home, at a price they can afford.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today announced that the federal government has reached an agreement with the City of Saint John, New Brunswick, to fast-track 285 new housing units over the next three years. This work will help spur the construction of more than 1,700 homes over the next decade and help meet the demand in Saint John.<\/p>\n

Under the Housing Accelerator Fund, this agreement will provide over $9.1\u00a0million to eliminate barriers to building the housing we need, faster. It will allow for more housing options in the city, including more rental, affordable, and missing-middle housing, with up to four units per residential lot. As part of the agreement, Saint John will cut red tape, reduce requirements, and accelerate approval timelines for missing-middle units. The city will work to reform its zoning bylaw approvals, use public and underutilized lands for housing development, and implement a new permitting system. It will also work with non-profit and private home builders to coordinate, fund, and develop affordable housing projects. Together, these initiatives are going to significantly improve the way housing is built and delivered in Saint John.<\/p>\n

The Housing Accelerator Fund is helping cut red tape and fast-track the construction of over 450,000 new homes for people in towns, cities, and Indigenous communities across Canada over the next decade. It asks for innovative action plans from local governments, and once approved, provides upfront funding to ensure the timely building of new homes, as well as additional funds upon delivering results. Local governments are encouraged to think big and be bold in their approaches, which could include accelerating project timelines, allowing increased housing density, and encouraging affordable housing units.<\/p>\n

The Government of Canada is supporting the middle class \u2013 and housing is key to that work. Our plan to double the rate of housing construction over the next decade will help build the housing supply we need. We will continue to work with provincial, territorial, and municipal governments, as well as Indigenous partners, to keep building more homes for Canadians, faster, and make life better for everyone.<\/p>\n

Quick Facts<\/h2>\n
