Trudeau Pushes 3D-Printed, Prefabricated Homes to Solve Supply Crunch

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced measures aimed at making it easier and cheaper to build new homes in Canada, with an emphasis on pre-fabricated modular housing.

The federal government will provide C$50 million ($36.8 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.
