The federal government has announced additional measures to assist in the construction of new homes.
Central Nova MP Sean Fraser, who is also the federal Housing Minister, says a new fund has been established aimed at assisting municipalities in providing services needed to building houses.
Fraser says the first phase is a $1 billion program. Fraser says it’s a hoped that a second phase will be launched in the coming months worth $5 billion, aimed at provincial governments to ensure there is the infrastructure in place to build up housing stock.
