Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund Overview

On March 10, 2025, the governments of Saskatchewan and Canada announced a 10-year agreement under the Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund (CHIF).

With the new fund, communities across Saskatchewan will be able to build or improve the critical infrastructure related to drinking water, wastewater, stormwater and solid waste in order to support more homes.

The province will receive $187.9 million through the CHIF program to address housing-enabling infrastructure priorities. In addition, the Government of Saskatchewan is committing approximately $155 million toward this program.
