The 2020 Innovation in Affordable Housing Student Design and Planning Competition

The 2020 Innovation in Affordable Housing Student Design and Planning Competition challenged four finalist teams of students to design affordable housing suitable for a 6.6 acre parcel in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The teams traveled to the city in March, and the awards ceremony was held as a virtual event in April. Yale University took first place and the University of Maryland, College Park was the runner-up, taking home the $20,000 and $10,000 prizes, respectively. The two remaining finalist teams, the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and the University of California, Berkeley were awarded $5,000 each.
