HUD’s Innovative Housing Showcase
“The American Home is the
American
Dream” Returns to the National
Mall
Showcase to run May 30 – June 1
and celebrate 250th
Anniversary of
American
Independence
WASHINGTON – Secretary
Scott Turner today announced the
return of
the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD)’s Innovative Housing
Showcase
from May 30 – June 1 to the National Mall
in Washington, D.C. This
year’s showcase
will highlight history-defining events in
housing, the pride of achieving the
American Dream of homeownership, and the future
of housing innovation, in
accordance with President
Trump’s Executive Order (EO)
celebrating America’s
250th
Birthday.
Established by EO, the Salute to America 250
Task Force will execute a year of
celebratory festivities beginning Memorial Day,
May 26, 2025 to the anniversary of
the proclamation of the Declaration of
Independence on July 4, 2026.
The annual public event raises awareness of
innovative and affordable housing
designs and technologies that have the potential
to increase housing supply,
reduce barriers to construction, and build for
stability while reducing housing
expenses for owners and renters. Interactive
exhibits will include full-sized
prototype homes and innovative building
technologies.
“I am thrilled to welcome back the
Innovative Housing Showcase to the
National
Mall as we commemorate 250 years of American
independence. During this special
celebration we will remember through the
decades, the American Dream of
homeownership ties generations together and is a
core part of our nation’s
excellence,” Secretary Turner
said. “In accordance
with President
Trump’s
inspirational vision for Salute to America 250,
HUD is proud to highlight housing
solutions that honor our past while building a
strong, bright future for American
homeownership. I look forward to seeing the
talented exhibitors in Washington and
presenting what I know will be a remarkable
showcase to the American
people.”
In addition to the exhibits, visitors will have
the chance to attend expert-led
discussions, workshops, and live demonstrations
that address defining moments in
the history of housing, as well as affordability
and resilience in the future of
housing. This is a family-friendly event, open
to the public. More than 5,000
people, including policymakers, housing industry
representatives, media, and the
public, are expected to attend.
HUD is seeking exhibitors for the showcase. More
