The federal government says its Build Canada Homes agreement with the Government of Nunavut and Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated will support at least 750 new homes: 425 public-housing units, 150 affordable units, 150 supportive units and 25 units delivered by NTI. Canada’s contribution is up to $250 million and Nunavut’s is up to $230 million, for a project value of at least $480 million. A separate finalized Build Communities Strong Fund agreement provides $81.3 million over 10 years for housing- and post-secondary-related infrastructure and $74.1 million over three years for health infrastructure. ᓇᑭᓐᖔᖅᓯᒪᓂᖏᑦ↗

The announcement moves the 750-home plan beyond the January 30 agreement in principle, which said final details still depended on a future funding contribution agreement. The July release confirms funding ceilings and unit categories, but does not show where most homes will be built, when each will be completed or which organizations will deliver the public, affordable and supportive units. ᓇᑭᓐᖔᖅᓯᒪᓂᖏᑦ↗ ᓇᑭᓐᖔᖅᓯᒪᓂᖏᑦ↗

Canada says nearly 100 modular units had already been shipped to Nunavut, with homes occupied in Cambridge Bay and units added in Iqaluit and seven other communities. It says another 120 units were planned for the 2026 sealift. NTI has also submitted a separate proposal for 400 more affordable homes and Inuit-led manufacturing and construction capacity; that proposal has not been approved in the federal release. ᓇᑭᓐᖔᖅᓯᒪᓂᖏᑦ↗

The $155.4 million infrastructure total is separate from the up-to-$480-million Build Canada Homes arrangement. Nunavut is also slated to receive $18.7 million in 2026–27 through the fund’s Community stream for local priorities such as water systems, transportation and community facilities. The agreement includes a Nunavut commitment not to increase fees or taxes that hinder housing supply. The federal release says construction was already underway on some units in Iqaluit, but it does not identify all project sites or publish the signed agreements.
