THANK YOU. AND WELCOME TO THE THIRD ANNUAL
INNOVATION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING DESIGN AND PLANNING COMPETITION.
I'M DIRECTOR OF THE HE RESOURCE UTILIZATION DIVISION IN HUD'S
OFFICE OF POLICY, DEVELOPMENT AND RESEARCH, WHICH I KNOW AS
MOUTHFUL. BUT WE AT HUD ARE VERY EXCITED
FOR THE THIRD YEAR OF THIS ANNUAL COMPETITION AND LIKE TO
PROVIDE YOU WITH JUST A BIT OF A BACKGROUND ON THE THIRD YEAR OF
THE PROGRAM. THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF
BACKGROUND ABOUT THE�-- OF THE COMPETITION.
WE CREATED IT TO ENCOURAGE INNOVATION IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING
AND TO RAISE CAPACITY AND FOSTER CROSS-CUTTING TEAMWORK IN DESIGN
AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. EACH TEAM CONSISTS OF THREE TO
FIVE STUDENTS AND THEY'RE HERE TODAY, IN THREE DIFFERENT
DISCIPLINES. ONE OF IT HAS TO BE A
NON-DESIGN-RELATED DISCIPLINE. FOR EXAMPLE, TEAMS THAT WERE
REPRESENTED INCLUDE LAW, CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT, REAL
ESTATE, URBAN PLANNING, NATURAL RESOURCES, ARCHITECTURE, AND
OTHERS. THE COMPETITION WAS DIVIDED INTO
TWO PHASES. DURING THE FIRST PHASE, TEAMS
PROPOSED SOLUTIONS, KEEPING FIVE GENERAL ELEMENTS IN MIND.
PLANNING CONTEXT AND ANALYSIS, BUILDING SOLUTIONS AND
TECHNOLOGY, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SOLUTIONS,
SITE-SPECIFIC ILLUSTRATIONS, AND SCHEDULE AND FINANCES.
STUDENTS PROPOSED SOLUTIONS IN RESPONSE TO A PROJECT BEING
UNITED STATES TAKEN BY THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF
SANTA BARBARA, WHICH INVOLVES EITHER NEW CONSTRUCTION OR GUT
REHAB OF A 28-UNIT FAMILY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT.
THE VILLAGE IS A RAD PROPERTY THAT CONTAINS A MIX OF TWO TO
FIVE-BEDROOM APARTMENTS AND THE IDEA WAS TO PROPOSE DESIGNS THAT
WOULD ADDRESS THE LACK OF HOUSING OPTIONS FOR FAMILIES IN
SANTA BARBARA. THE PHASE ONE SUBMISSIONS WERE
EVALUATED BY A JURY OF FIVE EXPERTS IN THE FIELD.
THE JURORS WHO ARE ALL HERE TODAY, RAISE YOUR HANDS, AND
SEATED BEFORE YOU AND THEY CHOSE THE TOP FOUR TEAMS, WHICH ARE
ALL HERE. THE FOUR TEAMS WERE THEN INVITED
TO VISIT SANTA BARBARA AND THIS IS A FEW PICTURES OF THE SITE
VISIT. THEY SPENT THE AFTERNOON TOURING
THE SITE IN THE TOWN OF SANTA BARBARA AND HEARING FROM THE
STAFF, ELECTED OFFICIALS, AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY OF
SANTA BARBARA. THIS IS A LIST OF THE STUDENT
TEAMS AND I WON'T READ THEM ALL, THEIR NAMES, BUT YOU CAN SEE
THAT THEY ARE TEXAS, KANSAS, MARYLAND AND HARVARD.
YOU ALL DESERVE A BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD
WORK. [ APPLAUSE ]
I'D LIKE TO TAKE A MINUTE TO THANK OUR FIVE JURORS WHO ARE
HERE TODAY. THEY ARE JAMES BOWMAN, PRESIDENT
AND CEO OF THE NATIONAL HOUSING TRUST�-- COULD YOU�-- ELIJAH
DATA, VICE PRESIDENT OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMMUNITY
BUILDERS INCORPORATED. ANN TORNIER, PARTNER OF AN
