About IOD »
HUD’s Innovation of the Day (IOD) is an online tool created to collect and disseminate innovative housing, community development, and built environment practices from around the world. IOD crowdsources new models that stakeholders can use to identify emerging trends, promising solutions, and successful strategies that unite practitioners and policymakers, stimulate policy development, and can be replicated elsewhere.
We encourage you to explore our Innovations Database where you can search, review, and vote on submissions. In addition, the companion map feature allows you to visualize what innovations are at work in your local community. If you have questions, please contact iod@hud.gov. Thank you!
