A more equitable future, built from the ground up.
LEARN MORE HEREIn 2020, Terner Center leaders founded Terner Labs as an independent nonprofit to scale housing innovation across the industry and advance systems-level change.
Since then, Terner Labs has become a go-to resource for innovators and policymakers alike, creating tools and programs to advance affordability, equity, and sustainability. The Housing Venture Lab identifies and supports promising housing innovators with potential to scale, and the Data Solutions Lab develops cutting-edge platforms to enable evidence-based housing policy.
Terner Labs continues to work closely with the Terner Center, drawing on research and policy expertise to identify promising innovations. Together, we work toward shared objectives of increasing supply and affordability, expanding access and equity, and spurring innovation in housing policy and practice.
