2014 IAH Final Four Jury and Awards Presentation

The Innovation in Affordable Housing Student Design and Planning Competition (IAH) is a new HUD initiative to encourage research and innovation in affordable housing, to raise practitioner and future practitioner capacity, and to foster cross-cutting team-work within the design and community development process. The IAH competition has been designed to replicate a real-life approach. Multi-disciplinary teams comprised of graduate students in architecture, planning and policy, finance and other areas have been asked to address social, economic, and environmental issues in responding to a specific veterans housing and historic preservation project planned by the Housing Authority of Bergen County.

On May 6, four student finalist teams, representing the University of Michigan, Ohio State University, New York University, and Columbia University will come to HUD to present their final projects in front of a jury of practitioners. The jury will deliberate and Secretary Donovan will announce the winner and the runner up.

This is a unique opportunity to hear innovative student ideas in response to a real-world issue. We hope you can join us on May 6.
