HUD PD&R invited teams from accredited educational institutions in the United States to participate in its "Affordable Housing Student Design and Planning Competition." The team must be composed of students who have taken a graduate degree program.

The demand for high-quality, affordable housing has never been higher. At best, housing can help strengthen the social and material structure of communities and neighborhoods. The hope of HUD and PD&R is that by launching this competition and providing funding for it, the new generation will promote the design and production of low- and middle-income people and sustainable housing through research and innovation.

The IAH competition aims to replicate real life methods. A multidisciplinary team of graduate students in architecture, planning and policy, finance and other fields will be required to solve social, economic, and environmental issues in response to specific housing issues developed by the actual public housing agency (PHA).

This competition aims to encourage people to conduct research and innovation in affordable housing, improve the capabilities of practitioners and future practitioners, and promote cross-disciplinary teamwork in the process of design and community development. IAH will join the annual PD&R awards for community planning, historical preservation and affordable housing design.

The multidisciplinary team must consist of a minimum of three students, a maximum of five students, and a faculty advisor. Each team must have members representing three different graduate programs; one of them must be from a program related to architecture or design, and one of them must be from a non-building program. There are many acceptable permutations; for clarity, here is an example:
