Financing the Future: Municipal and PHA Partnerships to Drive Housing Development

This panel brings together leaders from Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) across the country to explore innovative financing strategies that leverage the combined resources of local municipalities and PHAs to accelerate affordable housing development.

Panelists will examine how PHAs and municipalities can utilize tools such as Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), mixed-income development strategies, and other creative financing mechanisms alongside municipal land disposition, bond financing, and direct capital investment to unlock new or increase existing development opportunities.

The discussion will highlight real-world examples of public-public and public-private partnerships from communities nationwide that have successfully expanded housing supply, revitalized underserved areas, and created sustainable funding pipelines. Attendees will leave with actionable insights on structuring deals, aligning regulatory requirements, and building the cross-agency collaborations necessary to maximize impact in their own cities and communities.
