The Government of Canada is investing $86.2 million to support critical housing enabling infrastructure in Prince Edward Island (PEI). This funding will help build more homes faster and increase the supply of affordable housing for Islanders.
The funding will be used to support a range of projects, including:

These projects will help to create the conditions necessary to build more homes and communities in PEI. They will also make it easier for people to get around and access essential services.
“This investment is a significant step forward in our efforts to address the housing crisis in PEI,” said the Honourable Ahmed Hussen, Minister of Housing and Diversity and Inclusion. “By investing in critical infrastructure, we are making it easier to build more homes faster and increase the supply of affordable housing for Islanders.”
