The board of directors and president are appointed by the Government of Canada. As Canada's national housing agency, CMHC contributes to the stability of the housing market and financial system, provides support to Canadians in housing need, and offers objective housing research and advice to Canadian governments, consumers and the housing industry.
Near the end of World War IIthe Canadian government began to worry about the demobilization of thousands of soldiers in Europe, and their re-entrance to Canadian society. With so many people coming back to Canada, a number of problems could arise, one being that there may not be enough housing existing to accommodate the soldiers and their families. As such, on 1 January Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation was created changed to "Canada" Mortgage and Housing Corporation in to house returning war veterans and to lead Canada's housing programs.
This requirement and capital structure are still in effect today. During the war, Ajax, Ontario, was constructed and operated by Wartime Housing Limited to in order to provide much needed housing for munitions workers and returning veterans. Its biggest challenges in establishing Ajax as a functioning municipality were reimbursing Pickering Township and Ontario County for municipal services provided to Ajax and establishing an official plan for the growing community acceptable to relevant government agencies.
After considerable controversy regarding land and water control, CMHC submitted a successful application to the Ontario Municipal Board in May making Ajax an improvement district. This was the first step toward municipal status.
In the s, the federal government, through CMHC, provided grants to cities to encourage them to tear down derelict buildings and build municipally owned housing corporations.

In the s, the federal government withdrew from the financing of public housing projects. CMHC no longer directed funds to municipalities for the building of housing projects. Some government housing funds and mortgage guarantees since then have been provided for individual projects.
However, despite these advances, affordability remained a concern, particularly in the early s as a result of the ongoing recession, lay-offs and socio-economic uncertainty. In CMHC introduced emili, an automated insurance underwriting system that moves application approval times from days to seconds—making it easier for Canadian homebuyers to obtain mortgage loan insurance.
Housing affordability received a boost in through CMHC's introduction of Canada Mortgage Bonds, aimed at ensuring the supply of low-cost mortgage funding and keeping interest low.
