Last month, the federal government announced that it would be investing $10 million for 18 applied research projects that explore “specific, impactful ways” to help Canada meet its housing and infrastructure needs.

These projects aim to generate innovative, practical solutions to the housing and infrastructure challenges faced by Canadian communities. The solutions range from building a national housing data platform, to studying the impacts of transit investments on low-income and racialized communities, to combatting youth homelessness.

“These important projects will support innovative solutions that will help build more critical infrastructure and housing, faster across Canada,” said Sean Fraser, Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities.
