Graduate and undergraduate students are invited to participate in a 24-hour live, online, hackathon-style competition to pitch a proposal to solve the housing crisis in the US. Four prizes will be awarded, totaling $12,000.
Graduate students from GSD, HKS, and other schools at Harvard are invited to learn about the Center and the support we provide students via teaching, fellowships, research grants, and other offerings.
In this presentation, Daniel McCue and Alexander Hermann, senior researchers at the Center, will review the findings of this year's State of the Nation's Housing report (released in June) and more recent data showing increases in house prices, rents, and interest rates.

Join us for a conversation with Shaun Donovan, a dedicated public servant who has spent his career in government, private, and non-profit sectors fighting for underrepresented people and communities.
In the 22nd Annual John T. Dunlop Lecture, Andrew Bernheimer, FAIA, will discuss what several affordable housing projects in New York City have taught him about architecture’s role in addressing housing-related challenges. His firm, Bernheimer Architecture (BA), is committed to “designing sustainable and resilient architecture by crafting productive environments for people and their communities.”
