This session will navigate the latest policy changes and hot topics in the housing sector. As affordable housing remains at the forefront of national discourse, understanding the policy landscape is key for anyone involved in housing development, finance, or advocacy. Our panel will dissect recent legislative changes, regulatory updates, and shifts in state and local housing strategy. From zoning reforms to funding allocations, and from tax credit modifications to new sustainability mandates, we will cover the spectrum of policy evolution. Attendees will gain insights into how these changes could impact their projects and communities; and explore strategies for adaptive compliance and proactive engagement with policymakers.
