In Canada’s Housing Crisis, Are Modular Homes a Cheaper and Faster Solution?

  • In 2025, Canada advances modular housing efforts with projects like the 25-unit Ossington Avenue complex in Toronto to address housing shortages.
  • The federal and provincial governments, plus city incentives, support modular housing to reduce construction time by one-third and costs, aiming for 18,000 supportive units by 2030.
  • Experts emphasize creating stable demand to allow factories to invest confidently, hire workers, and increase production of affordable, environmentally friendly prefabricated homes.
  • The Ossington Avenue project, constructed in 21 working days at about $500 monthly rent per unit, demonstrates modular housing’s potential to transform unused urban land affordably.
  • Modular homes could significantly help Canada’s housing crisis, yet experts note a sustainable demand and further action remain essential amid challenges like homelessness and mental health issues.
