City by city. Metropolitan economy by metropolitan economy. Home by home.
KenHome Foundation's expansion is deliberate. We commit first where the crisis is most acute, where institutional partners are already present, and where coalition capital can be assembled at the scale the work requires.
The flagship. The follow. The metropolitan footprint.
KenHome Foundation's expansion follows the density of the crisis. We commit first where the gap between essential-worker compensation and metropolitan housing cost is most acute, and where the institutional, public, and philanthropic capacity to assemble a coalition is already in place.
Serving the 55,000+ healthcare workers and 8,000+ first responders of the UT Southwestern, Parkland, Children's Medical Center, and Methodist Health System corridor. Phase I capital under active assembly with municipal, institutional, and philanthropic partners.
Anchored by the Texas Medical Center — the largest medical complex in the world, with more than 100,000 employees across 60+ institutions. The workforce housing pressure parallels Dallas; the institutional architecture for coalition is already present.
Austin, Phoenix, Denver, Atlanta, Boston, New York, Washington, Miami, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles. Each metropolitan area selected against four criteria: housing-cost severity, essential-workforce concentration, public-sector readiness, and the philanthropic and institutional capacity to sustain a multi-phase commitment.
How we choose the next city.
Housing-Cost Severity
Cities where the gap between essential-worker compensation and prevailing rent has produced measurable workforce instability, response-time degradation, and a sustained recruitment crisis.
Institutional Density
Metropolitan economies with concentrated healthcare, academic, and public-safety institutions whose workforce retention interests align directly with the Foundation's mission.
Public-Sector Readiness
Cities with functional affordable housing finance infrastructure, municipal partnership capacity, and a demonstrated willingness to convey public land for workforce housing.
Coalition Capability
Metropolitan areas with philanthropic depth, regulated-bank CRA appetite, and civic leadership capable of sustaining a multi-phase development program across eight to ten years.
Build with us.
Whether you represent a city, a hospital system, a national foundation, a Fortune 500 board, a regulated bank, a labor council, or yourself — the first responders and healthcare workers of America's highest-cost metropolitan economies require what KenHome Foundation is building. The coalition is open.
