This is the basic story of the the Architecture for Humanity Chapter Network became the Open Architecture Collaborative and how we are moving forward with a different, bottom up strategy.

Bringing Public Health and Primary Care Together: The Practical Playbook National Meeting was at the Hyatt Regency in Bethesda, MD, May 22 - 24, 2016. The meeting was a milestone event towards advancing robust collaborations that improve population health. Key stakeholders from across sectors – representing professional associations, community organizations, government agencies and academic institutions – and across the country came together at the National Meeting to help catalyze a national movement, accelerate collaborations by fostering skill development, and connect with like-minded individuals and organizations to facilitate the exchange of ideas to drive population health improvement.
The National Meeting was also a significant source of tools and resources to advance collaboration. These tools and resources are available below and include:

Creating a Shared Vision for a Community, presented by Marsha Murrington, And...craigslist_fndn
To create a vision for the future and long-term change in a community, it’s essential to have a strong, well-conceived community engagement plan and process that allows the voices within the community to be heard. Having outsiders and experts apply their values and preconceived notions of what a community needs is a recipe for failure. This session is led by three skilled change agents, with experiences working across boundaries in a variety of communities. They share their insights, stories, and approaches for bringing people of diverse backgrounds, cultures, and generations together to envision what they want their neighborhoods and communities to become, determine priorities, address problems and issues, and take greater responsibility for where they live, work, and play.

As construction costs soar, funding for multifamily affordable housing remains relatively stagnant. The result is that multifamily affordable housing developers are increasingly pinched, forced to find creative ways to reduce already-tight construction budgets. Too often this causes delays and adversely affects the quality of the end-product. Meanwhile, the factory-built modular housing market is growing more sophisticated and efficient. It is estimated that the average modular multifamily project can save anywhere from 5% to 10% of overall construction cost relative to a traditionally framed building, not to mention the time savings of up to 40%. Yet, to-date, the modular industry has primarily served market-rate developers. The fact is that there are a number of financing, logistical, and permitting challenges that make modular affordable housing more difficult to achieve than modular market rate housing. Addressing these challenges has the opportunity to increase the affordable housing pipeline and address the affordability crisis.
Learning Objectives:
1. Learn about the cost and time saving opportunities for affordable housing associated with prefabricated construction.
2. Learn how to navigate the regulatory hurdles associated with prefabrication.
3. Learn about design constraints and opportunities associated with prefabrication.
4. Learn how construction documentation techniques may vary for prefabrication.
Speakers:
Brad Leibin, AIA Associate, David Baker Architects
Sharon Christen Senior Housing Developer, Mercy Housing California
Larry Pace Chief Operating Officer, Factory OS, Founder and President, Cannon Constructors North
This session was hosted by the AIA Housing and Community Development Knowledge Community in partnership with the Open Architecture Collaborative on May 6th, 2019.
Across the country, housing is becoming scarce and expensive in cities with growing economic opportunity. In many of these regions, grassroots pro-housing organizations have sprung up and are transforming public discourse on housing policy, land use, zoning, and planning. These proponents, some of which identify as “Yes in my backyard” (YIMBY) organizations, are advocating for proposed housing developments of all types and pursuing policy reform at the local and state levels.
The presentation covers the scale and impacts on the housing crisis in high cost metro regions in terms of housing shortages, rent and home costs increases, homelessness, displacement and reductions in opportunities for newcomers. It explores the origins of housing shortages and crises in the emergence of slow-growth politics and policies as a reaction to the rapid growth of the post WW2 era.
Speaker
Mark Vallianatos of Abundant Housing LA + LAplus. Mark is the director of LAplus and policy director of Abundant Housing LA. He is a policy analyst focused on housing, planning and sustainability issues. Mark has researched and written about the history of zoning and the need for more pro-housing policies at local, regional and state levels.

How has housing design changed and improved over the last decade? The AIA Housing and Community Development Network Knowledge Community has been awarding projects that are excellent examples of housing design for over 15 years. This session will present early research of the trends of those projects as an introduction to a discussion with participants regarding what makes good housing design.
