Creation of the ULI Terwilliger Center for Workforce Housing

“Those who serve their communities should be embraced by their communities, not shut out,” said J. Ronald Terwilliger, chairman and chief executive officer of Trammell Crow Residential at a press conference announcing his $5 million gift to ULI for the creation of the ULI Terwilliger Center for Workforce Housing. This commitment—the largest individual contribution ever made to the Institute—will be used to create a center based in Washington, D.C. that will work with ULI district councils, housing-related organizations, and various public- and private-sector representatives to create models of mixed-income workforce housing design, development, and financing. Initially, the center will focus on three markets—Atlanta, Southeast Florida, and Washington, D.C.—and the goal is to produce at least 3,500 units of new workforce housing in the three markets within five years.

In addition to the hands-on work, the center will identify barriers to workforce housing production and work to eliminate those barriers by raising awareness of the affordability gap and by advocating changes in public policy. It will publish best practices, organize conferences, and provide competitions to recognize individuals and companies demonstrating excellence in the area of mixed-income housing production.

While the effort is primarily aimed at people making between 60 percent and 120 percent of each market’s median income, and will include some market-rate housing, the income boundaries will be kept flexible to reflect variations of salaries and housing costs in individual markets.
