Housing Accelerator Fund

The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) administers the Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF). It provides incentives for local governments aimed at increasing the supply of housing. It supports the development of complete, low-carbon, climate-resilient communities that are affordable, inclusive, equitable and diverse.

HAF in Greater Sudbury

The HAF is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build Greater Sudbury for the future!
The City of Greater Sudbury has been awarded up to $16 million from the Government of Canada through the HAF to fast-track the development of over 495 new housing units over the next three years, to reach a total of 1,951 new permitted homes by March 2028.

Program Goals

To support affordable housing, multi-unit housing, and “missing middle” housing.
Support the City’s Housing Supply Strategy, which aims to ensure that all current and future residents have access to the housing options that meet their needs at all stages of life, and that are attainable at all income levels.

The goals of the HAF Strategy will be achieved through the implementation of the Housing Accelerator Action Plan’s eight HAF initiatives.
