The governments of Canada and Saskatchewan have finalized a 10-year agreement under the Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund (CHIF).
Through this agreement, communities across Saskatchewan will be able to build or improve the critical infrastructure related to drinking water, wastewater, stormwater, and solid waste - in order to support more homes and meet the growing demand for affordable housing. The province of Saskatchewan will receive $187.9 million to address their housing-enabling infrastructure priorities.
Under the CHIF, funding is available over 10 years to support long-term provincial and territorial infrastructure priorities that will directly enable new housing supply. Such initiatives could include projects that provide the critical infrastructure necessary to enable more homes, provide the drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater systems required to support community growth, preserve existing capacity or increase reliability and access to drinking water, or implement waste diversion initiatives to reduce landfill use.
By working together to invest in drinking water, wastewater, stormwater, and solid waste projects across Saskatchewan, we help ensure that communities have the capacity to support housing projects that meet the demands of a growing population.
