Plan now to join your Housing Credit industry colleagues for two days of informative conference sessions and valuable networking events.

Though the Housing Credit market has made advances since the economic downturn there is still work to be done to ensure the Housing Credit program remains the most successful affordable rental housing production program in history.  In the wake of the 2010 elections resulting in numerous new Members of Congress and new leadership in the House of Representatives, it will be important now more than ever that Housing Credit industry participants stay up-to-date on issues affecting the industry and work to educate their Members on the importance of the Housing Credit program. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about the state of the industry, the impact of the elections, and the Coalition’s legislative plan for the 112th Congress.
