Resimate supports establishing a federal forgivable loan program to help homeowners build accessory dwelling units. Loans would cover upfront costs such as site prep, permitting, and utility connections, with forgiveness tied to achieving affordability conditions (e.g., maintaining below-market rents for a set period). The program would expand housing supply while ensuring affordability for tenants.

Affordable Housing (including within Build Canada Homes) by incorporating youth housing, homelessness prevention, and wraparound supports. 360°kids will communicate with federal officials regarding the design and implementation of Build Canada Homes alongside the important goals of federal departments (including Finance, PSPC, and Health) and agencies, and related federal housing measures. Advocate to ensure youth supportive/transitional housing and homelessness prevention are incorporated into program objectives, eligible activities, and funding criteria. Recognize the role of wraparound supports (mental health, employment, family/natural supports) in stabilizing youth housing outcomes. Advance pilot opportunities with community partners such as 360°kids to demonstrate scalable approaches and measurable outcomes.

Integrate funded mental health, mentorship, and early intervention supports into YESS-funded placements. 360°kids will communicate with federal officials regarding the redesign and delivery of the Youth Employment and Skills Strategy (YESS), to ensure that funded mental health and wraparound supports are embedded alongside employment placements. Advocate for including dedicated federal funding (through contribution agreements and/or program requirements) for counselling, mentorship, early intervention, literacy and peer supports delivered by community partners. Ensure supports are available for youth facing barriers such as homelessness, disability, newcomer status, and Indigenous identity. Improve outcomes such as training completion, job retention, well-being, and reduced crises or program dropouts.

Resimate recommends creating a national catalogue of factory-ready ADU and multiplex designs tied to the Housing Design Catalogue. Cities adopting these plans would commit to 10-day plan checks and 15-day site permits, allowing rapid, repeatable approvals across jurisdictions.

Sector-specific youth pathways, train-the-trainer models, and employer partnerships. 360°kids will communicate with federal officials regarding funding streams and program models that strengthen youth workforce pathways and employer partnerships. Advocate for funding streams that invest in train-the-trainer programs and sector-specific youth pathways (including trades, technology, culinary, PSW/social work, environment). Promote models that link employment and skills development to mental health and housing stability supports for older youth with barriers and those underrepresented in the job market. Encourage stable, outcomes-based funding that supports onboarding and retention, particularly for equity-deserving youth.

Resimate urges Build Canada Homes to use federal buying power to secure standing offers for shell kits, Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) pods, stair systems, foundations, windows/doors, and crane/set services. Linking these orders to passport plan IDs would lower costs, shorten lead times, and stabilize Canadian factory capacity.

Resimate proposes a rules-based per-home contribution paid at permit (with adders for speed and affordability), plus a narrow installation backstop. The program would de-risk homeowner and lender participation, reduce execution risk for manufacturers, and accelerate conversion from permits to built units.
