The 50th Anniversary Paper Prize
In celebration of RCLCO’s 50th anniversary year in 2017, the Foundation hosted a thought leadership competition that drew entries from all segments of the housing innovation community, with a goal of making a meaningful difference in the policy and practice of affordable housing provision.
We aimed to honor scholarly work that drove innovation in approach to financing or incentivizing the creation of affordable housing in America. The winning paper was Maximizing Public Sector Air Rights as an Affordable Housing Solution, by C. Kat Grimsley, PhD.
