Government Launches Homebuilding Innovation Program in B.C.
The Canadian government has announced a $50 million investment over two years to drive innovation in the homebuilding sector in British Columbia. The Regional Homebuilding Innovation Initiative, led by PacifiCan, will allocate $7.1 million to projects in B.C. This initiative aims to enhance modular and prefabrication technologies, aiming to meet the rising demand for housing due to rapid population growth. This funding is part of Canada’s broader Housing Plan to boost the housing supply and foster industry resilience.
