Maximum Funding: Up to $50 million | Purpose: Support Housing-Related Infrastructure
The Canadian Housing Infrastructure Fund (CHIF) – Provincial-Territorial Stream is now accepting applications in Saskatchewan. This program provides funding for communities and organizations to build or improve critical infrastructure that directly supports housing development.
CHIF funding is designed to ensure that communities have the essential systems in place to accommodate new housing supply, including upgrades to drinking water, wastewater, stormwater, and solid waste systems.
Eligible applicants include:
Municipal and regional governments
Indigenous governing bodies and organizations
Not-for-profit organizations
Public sector bodies established by provincial or territorial legislation
Private-sector organizations (in partnership with an eligible public sector or Indigenous applicant)
Applicants may submit one capital and one planning application per intake. Regional projects involving multiple communities may submit one joint application.
CHIF supports both capital and planning projects.
Capital Projects may include:
Drinking water treatment and distribution systems
Wastewater treatment facilities, lagoons, and sewer networks
Stormwater management systems
Solid waste facilities, including landfills, organic waste processing, and sorting systems
Planning Projects may include:
Housing needs assessments
Feasibility and design studies
Engineering and climate risk assessments
Environmental and archaeological studies
Projects must demonstrate a clear connection to increasing or preserving housing supply in the community.
CHIF operates on a cost-sharing basis between federal, provincial, and applicant contributions.
Municipal, regional, not-for-profits, and public sector bodies: Federal up to 40%, Provincial up to 33.33%
Indigenous applicants: Federal up to 100%, Provincial up to 25%
Private-sector (for-profit): Federal up to 25%, no provincial contribution
The maximum eligible project cost per application is $50 million.
Applications must be submitted by 12:00 PM CST on Friday, November 28, 2025.
Projects selected by the Government of Saskatchewan will then be advanced to the Government of Canada for final review and approval.
The CHIF intake is highly competitive and requires applicants to demonstrate how their project contributes to housing outcomes, public health, environmental sustainability, and long-term community growth. Applications must be supported by detailed technical studies, cost estimates, and council or board resolutions.
