Secretary Scott Turner announced the return of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)’s Innovative Housing Showcase from September 6 – 10 to the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Previously, the Innovative Housing Showcase was scheduled to take place May 30 – June 1. This year’s showcase will highlight history-defining events in housing, the pride of achieving the American Dream of homeownership, and the future of housing innovation, in accordance with President Trump’s Executive Order (EO) celebrating America’s 250th Birthday.
The annual public event raises awareness of innovative and affordable housing designs and technologies that have the potential to increase housing supply, reduce barriers to construction, and build for stability while reducing housing expenses for owners and renters. Interactive exhibits will include full-sized prototype homes and innovative building technologies.
“I am thrilled to welcome back the Innovative Housing Showcase to the National Mall as we commemorate 250 years of American independence. During this special celebration we will remember through the decades, the American Dream of homeownership ties generations together and is a core part of our nation’s excellence,” Secretary Turner said. “In accordance with President Trump’s inspirational vision for Salute to America 250, HUD is proud to highlight housing solutions that honor our past while building a strong, bright future for American homeownership. I look forward to seeing the talented exhibitors in Washington and presenting what I know will be a remarkable showcase to the American people.”
In addition to the exhibits, visitors will have the chance to attend expert-led discussions, workshops and live demonstrations that address defining moments in the history of housing, as well as affordability and resilience in the future of housing. This is a family-friendly event, open to the public. More than 5,000 people, including policymakers, housing industry representatives, media, and the public, are expected to attend.
