HUD showcases innovative housing in National Mall

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced on May 30 that its Innovative Housing Showcase will take place from Sept. 6-10 at the National Mall.

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 Donald Trump’s Executive Order celebrating the 250^th birthday of America. 

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. 

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.

HUD Secretary Scott Turner looks forward to the event.

“I am thrilled to welcome back the Innovative Housing Showcase to the National Mall as we commemorate 250 years of American independence,” Turner said. “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.”

Turner noted that the event is part of the President Salute to America 250 initiative.

“HUD is proud to highlight housing solutions that honor our past while building a strong, bright future for American homeownership,” he said. “I look forward to seeing the talented exhibitors in Washington and presenting what I know will be a remarkable showcase to the American people.”
