"Invest in deeply affordable housing, supportive housing, and shelters in recognition of the link between housing and mental health outcomes. We will do this through $6 billion invested in the new Build Canada Homes (BCH) which will build and acquire housing. This investment builds on the Rapid Housing Initiative which supported 15,000 homes for our most vulnerable, including projects like Dunn House in Toronto, Canada’s first-ever social medicine supportive housing initiative. We will continue to work with partners to deliver projects that recognize the link between housing and health outcomes." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-22

"BCH will also provide $10 billion in low-cost financing and capital to affordable home builders. $4 billion will go towards long-term fixed-rate financing for affordable housing builders. $6 billion will go towards rapidly building deeply affordable housing, supportive housing, Indigenous housing, and shelters. BCH will direct $2 billion of this amount to build new student and seniors housing, in partnership with provinces and territories. We will immediately develop homelessness reduction targets with every province and territory to inform Housing First investments, improve access to treatment, and end encampments community by community." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14
