In Spring 2018, the Province committed $734 million in WTHF funding to pay for the development and operations of 1,500 new units of WTHSP housing sites over 10 years.

In April 2023, as part of its new Homes for People plan, the Province committed to funding an additional 1,500 new units under the WTHF program.
