CMHC's housing finance mandate is to promote housing affordability and choice and to contribute to the well being of the housing sector in the national economy.

In 2011 and early 2012, there was much talk of a crash in China s housing market, and a chain reaction of defaults in underground credit networks and local government finance platforms. In 2013, the talk has changed to the danger of a resurgent housing bubble and the collapse of the shadow banking system, which consists mainly of wealth management firms and trust companies.

In improving housing for the urban poor, Governments can assume two functions facilitating housing provision and improvement by individuals and private entrepreneurs and directly providing affordable housing to the poor.

Public housing agencies could promote better housing by providing credit to the poor, who usually lack access to the formal housing finance market, through, for example, affordable mortgages and microcredit schemes.
