What it does
The Federal Accommodation and Infrastructure Program is responsible to provide the PSPC portfolio of office facilities and common use assets to federal organizations. The program manages a diverse portfolio of federal facilities; undertakes the stewardship of major engineering assets and wharves; carries out the administration, capital management and leasing services for residential housing units in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut to support the delivery of federal government programs; conducts appraisals for PSPC’s acquisitions, disposals and transfers of real estate; and expropriates land or properties.

History and lineage
First appears in GC InfoBase's actual spending by program in 2018-19. The data does not record when a program was created; it may be older than its first appearance here, which is limited by the sources (program spending starts in 2010-11, Departmental Plans in 2018-19).
| Program | Relation | Years with data | Actual spending over those years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Federal Accommodation and Infrastructure | This program | 2018-19 – 2028-29 | $17.6B |
No earlier or later program in the same department has a similar name.

| Report year | Target | Due | Result | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023-24 | ≤ 14 | 2024 | 15.95 Systematic issues, including aging infrastructure, buildings condition and portfolio size hinder PSPC's ability to achieve this target. PSPC has made and will continue to make progress in reducing space through increased mobility, space releases via the Office Portfolio Reduction Plan, and accommodating more full-time equivalents in existing spaces. | Not met |
| 2024-25 | ≤ 14 | 2024 | 14.25 A significant share of the available budget is directed towards essential base-building upgrades, primarily health and safety improvements for aging assets. In addition, full participation from departments and agencies in adopting the unassigned work model remains a challenge.

Funding constraints also negatively impacted the ability to deliver projects to modernize and reduce space.
