Innovation has the power to change how we build, finance, and expand access to affordable housing, for homebuyers and renters alike. A new report, in partnership with Enterprise Community Partners, Wells Fargo Foundation, and Terner Labs, explores how local governments can create environments that support housing innovation, enable new solutions to flourish, and help solve the nation’s housing supply shortage. The report features 9 case studies drawn from innovations supported by each of our programs: the Housing Affordability Breakthrough Challenge, the Ivory Prize for Housing Affordability, and the Housing Venture Lab.

Congratulations to Terner Labs for this exciting announcement! We'd also like to give a special shout-out to the '24 Ivory Prize winner, Villa, for being selected for this inaugural cohort. We'll be watching out for the exciting housing innovation bound to be coming out of the Builders Lab.
Innovators in housing construction and delivery face unique hurdles on the path to growth, including a complex regulatory landscape and financing challenges. But the worsening housing crisis and intensifying climate impacts make new approaches more important than ever. We created the Builders Lab to support visionary leaders in architecture, engineering, construction and hardware as they work to advance their innovations and change the housing landscape for the better. Today, we're thrilled to announce the selection of our first Builders Lab cohort, made up of six companies from across the United States: B.Public Prefab , Cloud Apartments, Cycle Retrotech, Hydronic Shell Technologies, MODSpdx, and Villa. They bring a diverse array of approaches, including panelized and volumetric manufacturing and strategies to scale deep energy retrofits, workforce development, and demand aggregation. We're grateful for support from strategic partners Eden Housing, Inc., Hilti Group, SCB, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), and Suffolk Construction, and funding from Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and JPMorganChase.
