Mission
Housing Underserved Communities…
The Housing Innovation Collaborative exists to bring people and ideas together to accelerate the production of lower-cost, higher-quality housing. The only way we can achieve the efficiency and scale we need to overcome this housing crisis and build a better home for all of us is by coming together to learn from and support one another in the journey of incubating, showcasing, and implementing our best new housing solutions.
Background
The magnitude of the housing crisis in communities around the world requires us to exponentially improve the way we plan, design, and build housing in our communities.
The Housing Innovation Collaborative was formed in early 2019 when the leaders of the national nonprofit affordable housing developer, Housing on Merit, alongside several partnering organizations from throughout the housing and community development ecosystem came together to build a world-class educational platform for sharing best practices in housing development policy, finance, and design. The platform brings together the world’s best and brightest solutions with the world’s best and brightest innovators, from the most experienced developers to the next generation of homebuilders.
