The federal government will provide $50 million to a new fund meant to “support the scale-up, commercialization and adoption of innovative housing technologies and materials,” said Trudeau’s office in a news release.
A further $50 million will go through regional development agencies to help modernize homebuilding “through modular housing, mass timber construction, robotics, 3D printing and automation,” the release said.
