The governments of Ontario and Canada are investing $1 billion to help municipalities, that do not levy development charges, build more homes. The funding is being provided through a new Non-Development Charge Municipalities Stream (Non-DC Stream) made possible by the Canada-Ontario Partnership to Build. These funds will help eligible municipalities build and renew critical infrastructure, such as roads, bridges and water systems that enable new housing and protect the existing housing supply, while supporting lower home costs for families across the province.
