(from the website:)
In this contest your challenge is to design an affordable housing solution that could also address another problem. We are giving away more than $50,000 in prizes to the best entries!
Designing and building permanent, supportive housing is a collective effort. How might we reimagine policy frameworks and think differently across a variety of industries and sectors to address this problem? What if affordable housing could solve other problems in a community?
We are excited to launch a new chapter of the annual Make It Real contest with NFL quarterback Joshua Dobbs, who studied aerospace engineering as an undergrad and interned at NASA. In the new “More Than a Destination” film series, Josh visits Factory_OS, a California-based affordable housing builder, located inside a repurposed shipyard hangar with a fascinating history. Watch the films to learn more about the problem behind this year’s challenge!
