Rationale

Federal government accelerates housing spending from $10.1B to $15.0B under the Housing Accelerator Fund, NHCF, and RCFI programs. Targets increased housing starts, completions, and rental supply to address the national housing affordability crisis.

Details

Epoch: 1

Domain: housing

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $35.34B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$35.19B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; agrees)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • +$32.02B → consumer_spending (Consumer Spending Growth) via homelessness_rate
  • +$2.71B → healthcare_spending (Healthcare Spending) via housing_affordability
  • +$0.36B → housing_spending (Housing Programs) via housing_affordability
  • +$0.19B → federal_budget_balance (Federal Budget Balance) via federal_spending

Causal effects: 4 downstream variables affected (0 immediate)

Divergence after: 5.515

Variable changes

  • housing_spending: 10.1 → 15

Proposed policy move

housing_spending: 10.1 → 15 (▲ 4.9)

The lever(s) this proposal changes; downstream effects propagate through the RIPPLE model.
