Since the fall of 2012, HUD’s Innovation of the Day (IOD) Portal has collected more than 200 innovative housing, community development, and built environment practices from around the world.

Developed as a hub for collecting and disseminating innovative housing, community development, built environment, and urban practices, IOD's purpose is to crowd-source new models that can be leveraged not only within HUD, but by other agencies, municipalities, philanthropies, nonprofits, and citizens. Additional benefits include the ability to identify emerging trends, promising solutions, and successful means of implementation. Share your innovations or search the database for emerging practices in your own community or from around the world! Deadline for submissions is February 7, 2014.
