What is HousingX?

Innovation and rapid change are transforming industries around the world. The pace of change can be so fast that it’s important to see beyond the horizon to know what’s coming. The affordable housing industry is no exception.

On May 24th & 25th, 2022, HousingForward Virginia and the Virginia Center for Housing Research at Virginia Tech are pleased to present HousingX, a two day “un-conference” in Newport News, Virginia that will showcase what’s next in affordable housing construction, design, materials, ﬁnance and land use planning, as well as how to inspire and sustain creativity in your own organization.

The event will address key questions such as: How can new technologies increase affordability? Are factory built homes the answer to labor shortages? What barriers must local governments remove to increase housing supply? What will be the Next Big Thing in affordable housing design? What will housing consumers be asking for a decade from now?

Participants will hear answers to these questions from innovators around the country and will be able to interact directly with new technologies and techniques.
