It seems that the headline is they're throwing a few billion dollars directly into the same system that has caused our problems, with municipalities also being invited to "pitch" any better ideas they come up with to get more of that money. I don't know if it will change anything in the long run, but maybe it will temporarily relieve some pressure. I suppose it will come down to the details of how it's administered.
Unfortunately not a single one of the parties is offering anything that isnt the status quo, or schemes that "make housing more accessible" by having forever mortgages or subsiding other aspects of home ownership.
House is like 30% of the GDP at this point and none of the parties are willing to touch it.
