2017 IAH Final Four Jury and Awards Presentation

The Office of Policy Development and Research is pleased to announce the 4th annual Innovation in Affordable Housing Student Design and Planning Competition (IAH) final. The competition strives to spur research and innovation in affordable housing, increase practitioner and future practitioner capacity, and support collaboration in design and community development.

The students will present their final projects to a jury of practitioners and a live audience at HUD headquarters in Washington, DC. The winning team and the runner up will be announced at the conclusion of the event.
