— The Terner Center for Housing Innovation
In California, the collapse of proposed statewide legislation that would have eliminated single-family zoning and could have boosted density along transit corridors has left housing activists scrambling.
While state legislators regroup to tackle the structural issues, like zoning, underpinning California's housing crisis, the Terner Center for Housing Innovation is putting its money on...well, money. This week, The Terner Center, a partnership between the College of Environmental Design and the Fisher Center for Real Estate and Urban Economics at the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley, unveiled the nation's first housing innovation startup lab focused on lowering the cost of housing. The group has partnered with the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and is currently accepting applications from existing housing innovation ventures that are ready to be incubated to success.
Applications for the inaugural cohort are due June 10th.
