Scholarships
INVESTING IN THE FUTURE
The Foundation has raised nearly $3 million in endowments for scholarships through the generosity of its’ benefactors, including many Hall of Fame Inductees. CHF works with over 60 colleges and universities in California that offer and provide degree programs promoting the homebuilding industry.
This year, CHF will distribute over $145,000 in scholarships and grants to five university-based programs and to over 45 college and university students enrolled in industry-related programs such as construction management or architecture. “The goal is to assist these students in completing their degrees and begin working within the building industry,” said Gail Grimm, CHF Executive Director.
Don Terner Distinguished Professorship
CHF also supports the I. Donald Terner Distinguished Professorship on Affordable Housing and Urban Policy at UC Berkeley. Berkeley’s Haas School of Business and the College of Environmental Design have collaborated to create this professorship that is strengthening the teaching and research devoted to affordable housing. These funds enable the school to recruit and retain exceptional scholars and practitioners in the field of housing development. Funds have also been used to establish a new program that will foster research on housing markets, housing policy, international housing and the economy.
