Affordable and safe housing is a dream for all. All Canadians deserve a chance at it. So the Government of Canada is helping to come up with housing solutions that everyone can avail. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) has thus announced up to $2 million funding under the National Housing Strategy (NHS) Demonstrations Initiative. This will be available via call for submissions from June 22, 2021. For the uninitiated, the NHS Demonstrations Initiative brings to the fore, solutions supporting the National Housing Strategy priority areas and population groups. It is aimed at increasing awareness, scaling of promising programs, strategies, and even technologies.


For 2021, the open call competition will be aimed at targeting the Community Land Trusts (CLTs) and Land Assembly solutions as these have the potential to guarantee more availability and access to land towards the objective of affordable housing. Those applicants who will be successful in this open call competition will be poised to get funding which will range anywhere between $100,000 to $250,000 per project.


The learnings from the earlier editions of this competition have been that the solutions will be monumental in encouraging the innovation streak by making partnerships, along with scaling and replication. It is also aimed to make and disseminate data that will help in decision-making based on evidence.
