For those that seek a future that brings together the best of the insights and objectives of people who, within the social democratic and democratic socialist traditions, have worked through farmer, labour, co-operative, feminist, human rights and environmental movements, and with First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples, to build a more just, equal, and sustainable Canada within a global community dedicated to the same goals.

This community is not managed by NDP staff.

Restoring the dream of home ownership

We will replace the expiring Housing Accelerator Fund with a permanent $16 billion national housing strategy made up of the new Canadian Homes Transfer and the Communities First Fund. The Canadian Homes Transfer will reward cities that build quickly, allow more townhomes and apartments, and prioritize homes near transit. This will help us reach a target of 20 percent non-market housing in every neighbourhood. The Communities First Fund will support provinces in building the infrastructure needed for growth – like water, transit, and public services.

To deliver on this plan, we will train over 100,000 skilled workers, including newcomers and those affected by Donald Trump’s reckless trade war.

These measures will help double the pace of home building, and get 3 million homes built by 2030.

We will also help more people buy their first homes, by unlocking the financial power of the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) to offer low-interest public-backed mortgages.
