“Through new partnerships, we’ll define real estate’s role in addressing homelessness and mobilize members to accelerate the delivery of affordable housing with supportive services, aiming to end homelessness.” In honor of #WorldHomelessDay, we spoke with William Zeh Herbig, AICP, Senior Director of ULI’s Homeless to Housed Initiative at the Terwilliger Center for Housing about our commitment to transform awareness around homelessness into meaningful action by connecting members with service providers and housing experts. Together, we strive to ensure everyone has a safe place to call home. Join us at the Homeless to Housed Symposium during the ULI 2024 Fall Meeting in Las Vegas to explore opportunities for “creating a new marketplace” for deeply affordable housing for individuals with extremely low or no income.

We spoke with housing and financial experts to get their insights on the crisis and its potential ripple effects over the next 12 to 24 months. 🏘️ Explore their analysis in Urban Land Magazine 🔗: https://bit.ly/3Y1rJ7G #ULI #urbandevelopment #housing #affordablehousing #affordablehousingcrisis Sibley Fleming Beth Mattson-Teig Brett Widness

As we enter hurricane season, it's crucial to highlight how coastal cities can protect themselves from future disasters. New York City has weathered its share of storms, with Hurricane Sandy serving as a wake-up call. In 2012, it flooded 17% of the city, claiming 44 lives and causing $19 billion in damages in total. With 520 miles of coastline, the threat of sea level rise and storm surges looms large. In response, projects like the Lower Manhattan Coastal Resiliency (LMCR) and East Side Coastal Resiliency (ESCR) are transforming how the city protects itself. From innovative flood barriers to elevated parks and green infrastructure, these initiatives aim to safeguard neighborhoods and keep vital urban hubs thriving.
