Ontario Investing $1.6 Billion in Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program

August 18, 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.
