How does it work?  

Step 1 Identify your idea 

Have you identified an issue within your organization? Your project needs to identify the issue or challenge that you want to address and propose a method that will lead to effective change. 

Step 2 Be creative! Be innovative! 

What can you do differently in order to address the issue at hand? Projects need to include new approaches and/or tools within the organization or the community-housing sector. This does not necessarily mean that the methods are altogether new, but they have to be new in the context of your project.  

Step 3 Evaluate transformational

Will your project have a sustainable and significant impact? For example, will it result in better involvement of your tenants within their housing? Will it create a strengthened and more efficient organization? Will there be more housing units built? Will it make the community-housing sector more resilient? If you answered yes to at least one of these questions, then you are definitely on the right track.
