The National House Project and the National Office for Housing Preservation and Development

The National House Project is a new, multiyear design initiative that aims to design environmentally-friendly, sustainable homes for low-income families. The initiative is led by the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The program began in 2015, when designers were challenged to imagine a future where housing sustainability is an important goal. In the last year, nine care-experienced young people have been living independently and gaining self-sufficiency, and the results are already changing the face of residential care.

House project

After years of work on Habitat for Humanity house plans, the National Office has chosen a development team for the House project. These organizations work together to create a housing model that meets the needs of disadvantaged communities. The project consists of 3 cantilevered rooms that face an acreage at the rear of the property. The distance from the ground to the cantilevered box is approximately 18 feet, which is higher than the average height of a typical home.

In August 2018, the National Office for Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) announced the winning development team for the project. The project team includes real estate developer Trinity Financial, nonprofit development agency MBD Community Housing Corporation and the architectural firm Dattner Architects. The National Office is committed to helping youth transition from care to independence, and to creating a new neighborhood. The National Office for the Housing Project provides the expertise needed to make this happen.

The National Office for the House Project has provided support and expertise to local authorities so that they can set up their own local House Projects. The project has worked with more than three thousand young people from the city in the last five years. The team is working with a team of local businesses and nonprofits to help them design and build the homes of their dreams. The final product is a project that will help young people gain independence and feel proud of their accomplishments.
