Build Canada Homes has begun construction on about 2,000 units

Build Canada Homes has committed to supporting about 19,000 affordable units across Canada, but construction has begun on only about 2,000. The agency became a Crown corporation in July after Parliament passed the Build Canada Homes Act. The past year has largely been spent clearing bureaucratic hurdles, securing land transfers and signing intergovernmental deals. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation says between 417,000 and 469,000 units must be built annually by 2036 to restore 2019 affordability.
