ULI 2023 TERWILLIGER CENTER HOUSING AWARDS
In addition, the ULI Terwilliger Center for Housing has
selected the City of Tallahassee, Florida, as the winner of the
2023 ULI Robert C. Larson Housing Policy Leadership Award.
The City has a catalog of options and partnerships that
incentivize developers to bring housing projects across the
affordability spectrum to Tallahassee. These tools provide
broad spectrum reach and help stretch public dollars, creating
a more sustainable, long-term affordable housing environment.
The award was created in 2011 to honor the legacy of the
late Robert C. Larson, a former ULI Foundation chairman and
longtime ULI trustee. The Larson Award is part of the ULI
Terwilliger Center's housing awards program and recognizes
exemplary state and local programs and policies that support
the production, rehabilitation, and preservation of workforce
and affordable housing.
The winner is selected by a jury chaired by Ron Terwilliger,
founder of the ULI Terwilliger Center and chairman of Terwilliger
Pappas
Multifamily Partners.
" The affordable housing crisis has extended beyond the traditional
high-cost coastal markets and into communities that
once were affordable-now more than ever we need to share
replicable policy solutions, " said Ron Terwilliger, founder of the
ULI Terwilliger Center and chair of the Terwilliger Center housing
awards jury. " The Larson Award allows ULI to honor efforts
led by the public sector to expand housing opportunities. On
behalf of the ULI Terwilliger Center, I'd like to congratulate
