As the deficit of affordable housing has continued to increase, many are welcoming new methods to ease the divide between the supply and demand.  Developers, residents, and local governments are implementing solutions that result in a faster production rate of new housing units while achieving a reduction in costs.  These alternatives to traditional housing models include accessory dwelling units (ADUs), modifications to land development codes, new technology such as 3D printing, and container homes.  Creative strategies that reduce the total development cost by contracting HVAC appliances and services allowing the developer to shift costs from development to operations, reducing the total development cost to achieve financial feasibility.  This session will take the solution-focused approach to addressing challenges by implementing innovative approaches to housing development and management to inform attendees about examples that can be replicated across Florida.
