Architects & The Housing Crisis

Partially built house with wooden walls erected in a field
Maine Public

Architects can be part of the solution to Maine’s affordable housing challenges. Some architects are pursing innovative methods to help address the housing crisis in the short-term—but they face certain barriers to creating reasonably priced new housing. We'll also learn about a new design competition open to everyone.
This is part of our series "The Cost of Living: Maine's Housing Shortage."
