Trammell Crow Residential's Terwilliger

'You cannot rely on your federal government to solve the housing needs of your citizens. Individuals who have the wherewithal need to step up and contribute.'

By Sule Aygoren Carranza | Updated on June 02, 2009

J. Ronald Terwilliger has amassed a great number of accomplishments during his 40-year career, the past 30 of which he served as CEO of Trammell Crow Residential. Terwilliger, who retains the vice chairman title at the Dallas-based firm, stepped down from the CEO post last year. Yet from the looks of it, he’s not letting retirement slow him down one bit. Terwilliger is now using much of his new down time to help further a cause that is very important to him: the creation of affordable housing for working families around the world.

As part of that effort, he recently made a $100-million commitment to Habitat for Humanity, marking the largest donation from an individual in the organization’s history. The legacy gift is expected to help some 60,000 families around the world gain access to improved housing conditions.

With the donation to Habitat, says Terwilliger, “I want to help ensure a leveraged, sustained impact beyond my lifetime and inspire others to make the commitment to support affordable housing. There are more than 1.6 billion people around the world who live in poverty housing, and they need our help.”
