Cavan Monaghan — The Ontario government is investing in critical infrastructure to facilitate the construction of up to 300 new homes in Cavan Monaghan funding is being delivered through the Housing-Enabling Core Servicing Stream under the Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program, which includes $400 million to help build, repair and maintain municipal roads, bridges and culverts that will promote housing growth in communities across Ontario.

“I pleased to announce that the province is supporting our growing rural communities. In Cavan Monaghan, this funding will assist in the building of 300 new homes. This is one of the many important steps our government has taken to bolster infrastructure, connectivity, and promote a high quality of life in rural Ontario said Laurie Scott, MPP for Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock.

“To keep pace with growing communities across our province, our government is helping municipalities build more homes faster than ever before,” said Kinga Surma, Minister of Infrastructure. “Families and residents need safe and reliable roads and bridges to access these homes and travel safely to and from their destinations. That’s why we are making targeted, local investments through the Housing-Enabling Core Servicing Stream to support the construction of municipal roads, bridges and culverts that keep residents safe and foster stronger, more connected communities across Ontario.”

The government is also investing $175 million to launch the Health and Safety Water Stream under the Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program. This new stream will support projects that will protect homes and create resilient communities by building, rehabilitating and expanding aging water, wastewater, stormwater, flood and erosion infrastructure.

Through the Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program and the Housing-Enabling Water Systems Fund, Ontario is providing nearly $2 billion to support housing- and community-enabling infrastructure and build more homes across the province.
