Speaking in Dartmouth, N.S., Trudeau announced the federal government is creating a new $6-billion Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund.
The other $5 billion will be set aside for provinces and territories, but they can only access the funding if they make certain commitments.
The federal government said the provinces will have until Jan. 1 to secure an agreement. Territories will have until April 1.
The federal government is also topping up its housing accelerator fund with an additional $400 million over three years, which it says will help build another 12,000 homes.
