Affordable Housing Development Competition – Student Registration

Welcome to the student registration page, which is designed to identify your skills and interests to facilitate team formation. This year’s competition meetings will be held via Zoom. An in-person awards ceremony is planned for April. The Competition will kick-off with introductory sessions the first week of February (specific dates will be shared via email and are available on the website). The student coordinators will use the information in the registration to form student teams.

The competition is geared primarily for and by graduate students. Advanced undergraduates may be able to participate and have done so successfully in the past. The Affordable Housing Development Competition (AHDC) requires significant time and energy. Students can expect to spend on average 15 hours a week developing their proposals. For undergraduates interested in participating in the AHDC, there are additional requirements (see the last question below on the student registration).
