MGT 632 Housing CT Course
Enrollment in this course is by application.
Deadline to apply: Round 1 opens 7/13-7/27, deadline to accept 8/3, Round 2 deadline 8/10.
Course Description: In this interdisciplinary clinic taught between the School of Architecture, School of Law, School of Management, and School of Environment and organized by the Yale Urban Design Workshop, students will gain hands-on, practical experience in architectural and urban development and social entrepreneurship while contributing novel, concrete solutions to the housing affordability crisis in Connecticut.
Offered in partnership with the Connecticut Department of Housing (DOH) as part of the Connecticut Plan for Healthy Cities, student projects will center on housing solutions that aim for community wealth building and equitable economic development in some of Connecticut’s most economically distressed neighborhoods, by proposing multi-sector, place-based projects that focus on housing, health, and economic development. Proposals will have the opportunity to receive funding from the State both towards the implementation of rapidly deployed pilot projects during the course period, as well as towards predevelopment activities for larger projects, such as housing rehabilitation or new building construction.
Class space limited, projected Enrollment: 12 Architecture, 6 Law, 6 SOM, 6 YSE
