This year’s theme, “Made in America,” highlighted American ingenuity and innovative approaches to expanding housing affordability and homeownership.
“Across the Midwest, communities are looking for ways to increase the supply of affordable housing options,” said Region V Administrator Duey Stroebel. “At the Innovative Housing Showcase, I saw firsthand how local companies are looking outside the box to increase the housing supply and make homeownership more affordable for everyday Americans.”
