Ontario Investing $1.6 Billion in Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program

August 20, 2025

Our government is protecting communities, lowering costs and strengthening Ontario’s economy by investing an additional $1.6 billion to speed up construction on homes and critical infrastructure.

This investment nearly doubles the Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program (MHIP) to $4 billion, building on the province’s most recent $400 million increase in the 2025 provincial budget and giving municipalities and Indigenous communities the resources to build roads, bridges and water systems that make new housing possible.

Since its launch in 2024, the Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program has enabled the construction of 800,000 homes across the province.

In conjunction with the province’s $1.2 billion Building Faster Fund, which rewards municipalities that meet and exceed their housing targets, these investments give communities the resources they need to keep delivering results.

Investing in local infrastructure is part of the government’s more than $200 billion plan to protect Ontario families by building more transit, highways, hospitals, schools and housing-enabling infrastructure, including over $33 billion this year alone. This is the most ambitious capital plan in the province’s history.
