WASHINGTON - U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) spotlighted multiple housing innovations and resources from the Mid-Atlantic region during the sixth annual Innovative Housing Showcase, held September 22-24 on the National Mall. This year's theme, "Made in America," highlighted American ingenuity and innovative approaches to expanding housing affordability and homeownership. 

"HUD is prioritizing innovation to make housing more affordable for American families," said Assistant Deputy Secretary for Field Policy and Management and Region III Administrator Joseph DeFelice. "The Innovative Housing Showcase spotlighted cutting-edge work by Mid-Atlantic companies, making housing easier to build and buy. Deregulation and strong public-private partnerships paired with advanced construction methods are key to making the American Dream a reality for more families across our region."

HUD's "Made in America" Showcase spotlighted American builders, manufacturers, and innovators' modern technologies and creative housing solutions that are expanding housing supply, lowering construction costs, and putting affordable homeownership back in reach for hardworking Americans. The Showcase featured a variety of full-scale housing models including manufactured, 3D printed, and modular homes built by American companies from across the nation.
