Ontario Launching New Funding Program to Build Long-Term Care Homes

August 20, 2025

• As Ontario ages, we need to protect our province by building long-term care homes faster, smarter and in the places that need them most.
• Our new capital funding program will help us meet our ambitious construction targets and ensure Ontario families can receive world-class care close to home, for generations to come.
• To support more long-term care operators in the face of rising costs the CFP will shift to a flexible, percentage-based funding model from the previous fixed, cost-per-bed model to better address construction and land cost variations across Ontario.
• The new model will provide increased ministry funding equivalent to a maximum of 85 percent of total eligible expenditures with a maximum that’s determined by location across four market segments.
• Not-for-profit operators will also receive ministry funding earlier so that projects can advance to construction while eligible hospital and Indigenous operators can receive the entire amount of funding during their project’s construction period.
• Through innovative programs like the CFP, our government is making continued progress toward its commitment to build 58,000 new and upgraded long-term care beds across the province.
