Homeless to Housed (H2H)
Exploring Real Estate Solutions
ULI’s Homeless to Housed (H2H) initiative aims to spark conversations regarding the role of the real estate community in addressing homelessness. The initiative works by identifying best practices and effective solutions for addressing the needs of the unhoused through research, local district council engagement, and awareness-building activities.
Why ULI? ULI’s members have knowledge, expertise, and experience in real estate development, finance, and operation. This knowledge and know-how, combined with ULI’s mission to create vibrant, sustainable communities, makes it the right organization to assist communities and the nation meeting the needs of unhoused individuals and families.
