For nearly two decades, the Office of the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development has collaborated with the American Institute of Architect’s (AIA) Housing Knowledge Community to sponsor four prestigious housing design awards. During that time, the housing industry, in general, and the architectural community, in particular, faced challenges during a period of economic decline but has recently witnessed a resurgence of activity in response to the demand for affordable, quality housing. The four awards represent HUD and AIA’s commitment to seeking feasible solutions to the affordable housing challenges that many low-income communities confront.
