Accelerating Housing Production Grants
ULI’s Terwilliger Center for Housing (TC) in partnership with the National League of Cities (NLC) and the American Planning Association (APA) will provide technical assistance through Accelerating Housing Production Grants to cities participating in the Housing Supply Accelerator Challenge.
These grants support technical assistance panels focused on delivering and/or maintaining housing units attainable to cities’ current and future residents. The Terwilliger Center partners with ULI's District Councils to advance efforts, bringing resources and expertise to enable housing production at the local level.
For this grant opportunity, ULI is seeking proposals aligned with the following priority themes:
- Increasing production of all levels of housing, from deeply affordable to market-rate housing
- Connecting stakeholders (i.e., Public-Private-Provider Partnerships or P4s)
- Leveraging available land and/or structures
- Aligning divergent community perspectives and financial resources
For questions regarding ULI's Housing Production Grants, please email: housing@uli.org.

About the Terwilliger Center for Housing
The mission of the Terwilliger Center for Housing (TC) is to ensure that everyone has a home that meets their needs at a price they can afford. Established in 2007 with a gift from longtime member and former ULI chairman J. Ronald Terwilliger, the Center’s activities include technical assistance engagements, forums and convenings, research and publications, and an awards program. The goal is to catalyze the production and preservation of a full spectrum of housing options. To learn more about the Center, visit our website.
About the Housing Supply Accelerator Challenge
The Housing Supply Accelerator Challenge supports and assists communities looking to adopt and adapt housing solutions and strategies from The Housing Supply Accelerator Playbook: Solutions, Systems, Partnerships. A nationwide network for communities and their partners, the challenge helps communities to gain exposure to best practices, policies, and tools, access technical assistance opportunities, engage in peer exchanges, and spotlight how your community is collaborating to address its local housing supply challenges.
The National League of Cities (NLC) will select up to 16 cities to participate in a hybrid learning and action series designed to help city leaders and municipal teams integrate prenatal-to-three (PN-3) strategies into their city's priorities. Through expert-led content, peer learning cohorts, and tailored coaching, city teams will identify actionable commitments, build cross-sector partnerships, and drive meaningful local action. The series will focus on strategies to address key contributors to poor maternal and infant outcomes, including climate & environmental factors, family economic insecurity, and housing instability, with each city selecting one focus area to drive targeted impact.
This Impact Lab aims to catalyze cross-sector collaboration, encouraging cities to embed PN-3 priorities into planning, infrastructure, and policy efforts that advance broader community goals, health equity, and resilience.
All proposals must be submitted online by 11:59 PM EST on Friday, October 31, 2025.
