Fabiola Yurcisin is the Technical Assistance Program Director at the ULI Terwilliger Center for Housing. In this role, Fabiola manages the Center’s Accelerating Housing Production Grants. The goal of this program is to advance efforts by bringing resources and expertise to enable local housing production.

Before ULI, as a design thinking strategist and community planner at Hola Vecino, Fabiola co-created a toolkit to catalyze placemaking projects. She championed a collaborative approach to align the shared vision of citizens, community organizations, developers, and the public sector. She represented Mexico at the 2016 Venice Biennale of Architecture, where she showcased the neighborhood placemaking toolkit.

As a visual artist, she focuses on immigration and environmental activism.
