Healthy Housing™

Healthy Housing™ is a CMHC vision of housing that promotes the health of its occupants while considering the environment and preserving our natural resources. Healthy Housing™ is not about building new high-tech houses. It's about making Healthy Housing™ features available and affordable to everyone, for new or older homes in the city, country or suburbs.
