“Getting Started” is the second round of the Housing Supply Challenge. In this round, we are focusing on the pre-development phase, and are inviting you to propose locally relevant solutions that improve the pre-development process for housing that is affordable.
Pre-development activities include everything that brings a housing project from idea to the start of construction, and we want to hear your best ideas!
Different pre-development barriers exist in different communities, and there is no single solution that will work everywhere.
Do you have an idea to solve any of the following pre-construction barriers in your area?
Submit your idea to access up to $75,000 in funding to prototype your solution. If selected, you’ll be eligible for a further pool of up to $38 million dollars to implement it!
