Jack Kemp Excellence in Affordable and Workforce Housing Awards

The Terwilliger Center is pleased to announce the winners of the 2023 Jack Kemp Excellence in Affordable Housing Awards!

The application period for the 2024 housing awards is now open. Instructions to apply are below.

About the Award

ULI’s Jack Kemp Excellence in Affordable and Workforce Housing Awards recognize exemplary developments that demonstrate creativity in expanding housing opportunities.

Established in 2008 and named in memory of Jack Kemp, former secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the award has honored developments that meet “affordable” and “workforce” housing needs and help to create mixed-income communities. Learn more about the previous winners and finalists.

Starting in 2024, the Kemp award will exclusively target developments that are serving middle-income earners and applicants. Kemp applicants should have at least 2/3 of the units for households earning between 60-120% AMI. Instead, developments that target greater affordability will be eligible for our Terwilliger Center Award for Innovation in Attainable Housing.
