John and Jill Ker Conway Residence Cover Image
Case Study Summary:

The John and Jill Ker Conway Residence is an affordable housing development for individuals who have experienced homelessness and for low- and moderate-income residents in the NoMa neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The project was designed to address veteran homelessness by providing permanent housing and voluntary, on-site supportive services. There are 124 studio apartments with shared amenities that include 77 units of permanent supportive housing for individuals who have experienced homelessness and make less than 30 percent of the area median income—including 60 units for veterans and 17 units for D.C. residents referred by the D.C. Department of Behavioral Health (DBH)—and 47 units for individuals making less than 60 percent of AMI.

The project was developed by Community Solutions and McCormack Baron Salazar Inc. and completed in 2016. On-site supportive services are provided by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and resident services are provided by Jaydot. ---- Interested in ULI's work on addressing homelessness? In 2022, the Terwilliger Center for Housing, with initial funding by philanthropist and entrepreneur Preston Butcher, launched the Homeless to Housed Initiative, which works to explore real estate solutions to the growing crisis impacting communities everywhere.
