H2H Reading List

Looking to understand the real estate industry’s role in addressing homelessness?

ULI’s Homeless to Housed (H2H) initiative launched in 2022 with the release of Homeless to Housed: The ULI Perspective in 2022. The report features eight case studies from across the U.S. that illustrate the critical role of the real estate community in addressing homelessness.

In addition to our research and reports, we’ve gathered a list of ULI-published articles, webinars, and panel summaries that examine deeply affordable housing and the realities of–and potential and tested solutions to–homelessness.
