PD&R is pleased to announce the finalist teams' presentations for the 3rd annual Innovation in Affordable Housing Student Design and Planning Competition (IAH). The competition aims to encourage research and innovation in affordable housing, raise practitioner and future practitioner capacity, and foster cross-cutting teamwork within the design and community development process while endeavoring to raise the consciousness of affordable housing at universities.

Four teams of finalists will present their projects on April 19, 2016, before a jury of practitioners. The winner and runner-up of the IAH competition will be announced at the conclusion of the event.
