2024 Design Competition

How we got here
On May 9, 2024, the Anderson Housing and Homeless Alliance was awarded a Community Challenge grant by AARP to host a Housing Design Competition for safe and affordable housing for older adults and people with disabilities.
In collaboration with Touch the Future Inc, we developed materials and guidelines, hosted an information session on the current building conditions in our county, and received a variety of submissions!
Now, we need your expertise.
