The rules just changed for modular homebuilding in Canada.

On May 7, CMHC announced Prefab Plus, a new insured mortgage program that lets buyers purchase a factory-built home with as little as 5% down. Funds are advanced in staged draws tied to construction milestones, not as a single lump sum.

And to put that in perspective: this is the first time the federal government has built a dedicated financing pathway specifically for prefab and modular construction.

What this means practically:
→ More buyers can now qualify for a modular home
→ The staged draw structure finally matches how modular builds actually work
→ Multi-unit modular is now eligible under ALL CMHC programs, including MLI Select. No pilot access required.

At EpicMod, we've been building with panels and modulars decades before "modular homes" became a catchphrase, and our leadership team's nearly 40 years of construction experience in Ontario allows us to confidently build factory-direct modular homes, ADUs, and multifamily buildings across the province. This announcement changes the conversation entirely.

The product was never the problem. The financing was.

That barrier just came down.

If you finance, advise, develop, or are simply trying to own a home in Canada, this is the post to share.
