organizations to try to enlist the wider design community in generating
fresh ideas on the area's critical affordable housing challenge.
Six

Forum on May 26th, ( 3 pm, Wellfleet Library) with the finalists,
Wellfleet boards concerned with housing, the general public and people
interested in possible building an Affordable Accessory Dwelling Unit

In Phase Two, finalists will develop their designs to address sustainability, budget, construction strategy and the possibility of combining three units into a mini-cluster for a second site in Wellfleet.
The
final distinguished jury will select the winning individual or team,
on Aug. 13, followed by a panel and reception at the Wellfleet
Congregational Church.
Winners will receive a cash prize. The
work of finalists and some other selected participant's will be
