Providing tax incentives to home builders to build or repair homes affordable to low- and middle-income households.

Program for Public ConsultationOctober 2025

Here is a proposal to increase the availability of homes that are affordable for low and middle-income households to purchase in low-income areas. The Federal government would provide tax incentives to: Companies that build or repair houses in low-income areas that are affordable for low- and middle-income people to purchase; homeowners in low-income areas to repair their home.

Program for Public ConsultationOctober 2025

The Federal government would provide a tax credit to home builders to build or repair homes to be rented, on the condition that 60% of the homes are affordable to households with incomes of about $40,000 to $80,000 a year, adjusted for the cost of living in the area.
