As the federal government faces mounting pressure to address a national housing crisis, it announced on Nov. 7 that it would build more than 2,800 homes on its properties in cities across the country.

The latest announcement, which also comes as Liberals face a major dip in the polls, puts the government on track to build about 29,200 homes on public lands by 2029.
