’s first Housing Hackathon drew more than 150 students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) who were asked to create an app to help at-risk, first-time homebuyers.

The top three finishers offered a technological solution to challenges that newbies to the housing market struggle with.

The HBCU hackathon was created in collaboration with the United Negro College Fund ( ), Black Tech Ventures ( ), and Amplify 4 Good, and represented 17 HBCUs.
Six teams advanced to the final round and a team of four students won first place and $20,000 for its program that uses machine learning to predict increases in rent and utility costs at a particular address over time and offering renters early warning about looming affordability challenges, per a press release. The second and third-place winners also received a cash prize. The winning students received new laptops, textbook gift cards, and tickets to the World 2021 conference.

As part of the first-place prize, Zillow will donate $25,000 to Morehouse College’s computer science program

Congratulations, fellas! We are so extremely proud of you!
