The U.S. Housing & Community Development Conference
The National Forum for Housing & Community Development
Two days of education, networking, and insights on the financing, partnerships, and delivery models expanding housing across the nation.
The event shaping the future of housing and community development through innovative delivery.
The U.S. Housing & Community Development Conference brings together the nation’s most active housing developers, housing authorities, public housing departments, community development leaders, and housing service providers.
As costs rise and funding shifts, housing leaders are rethinking how projects are planned, financed, built, and operated, and looking for practical, actionable solutions to the growing affordability challenge.
The program highlights approaches across planning, design, finance, construction, management, and project delivery.
From new models for affordable and workforce housing to community-driven solutions and homelessness response, the conference is designed for public and private leaders expanding housing at scale.
