A Better Way Home: The Housing Affordability Breakthrough Challenge

October 21, 2022 - May 8, 2023

The museum shares the work of six winning teams that participated in a three-year, $20 million initiative to find innovative ways to close the economic gap in the affordable-housing market. Conceived by MASS Design Group, the exhibit shares the winners’ novel ideas in the areas of housing finance, construction and resident services.
