Resources created by the Navigators/Architects to support early stage development of housing projects by non-profits:

D1. Glossary of Terms: This glossary includes language and concepts used in housing development projects as a guide for folks new to the sector. It’s in both an excel document (that can be revised and added to as a living document) and a PDF.

D2. Phases of Design Graphic: This graphic illustrates the different stages and phases of developing affordable housing. It’s a helpful map to understand the full spectrum of a housing project and where you can find your project on it.

D3. Project Charter Template: The Project Charter is the starting place of any group looking to dive into an affordable housing development project. This can be completed with the team and Board members before taking any further steps. The project charter has been included as both a slide deck and a word document.

D4. Task Tracking & Deliverables Template: This document is a tool to track the major elements of starting an affordable housing project. It covers the process from ideation, through planning to early in design. There is a template as well as an example of how this can be used.

Here you can find a video series of presentations made by the Navigators/Architects as part of the AHDN Project. This is a series of videos recorded during workshops where a small group of architects shared knowledge and expertise about the early stages of developing affordable housing. See the excel document AHDN Workshop Recording Catalog for descriptions of what to find in each video presentation and associated resources linked.
