From the Urban Land Institute,
J. Ronald Terwilliger, former chairman of the Urban Land Institute (ULI), has committed $5 million to the creation of the ULI Terwilliger Center for Workforce Housing, ULI announced today. The center will address one of the most critical issues facing urban areas across the country by supporting the development of housing affordable to moderate-income workers, including teachers, nurses, firefighters, government workers, and police officers. The gift from Terwilliger is the largest individual contribution ever made to the Institute.
