As CMHC marks its 65th anniversary, we take pride in knowing that we have helped build A Solid Foundation for Generations of Canadians – from helping to house World War II veterans to delivering a range of programs that enhanced the ability of Canadians to access affordable, high quality housing over the past six decades. In 2011, CMHC continued to strengthen the housing system by:

- providing federal investments in housing programs for lower-income Canadians and for First Nation communities;

- facilitating access to homeownership and rental housing through mortgage loan insurance products that help finance housing throughout Canada;

- reducing mortgage costs for Canadian homebuyers by ensuring a reliable supply of low-cost mortgage funds to financial institutions, enhancing the competitiveness of the mortgage market and providing investors with opportunities to invest in high quality secure investments through the securitization guarantee programs;

- being a trusted source of housing information and market analysis.
