Overview

Meet Rising Demand for Housing Counsel

Affordable housing is at the center of one of the most significant policy and development challenges facing communities nationwide. As housing costs continue to outpace income growth, governments at every level are pursuing new strategies to increase housing supply, preserve existing affordable units, and address longstanding barriers to development. At the same time, developers, lenders, investors, and public agencies face an increasingly complex web of zoning regulations, financing programs, tax incentives, and regulatory requirements.

This program provides a practical overview of the legal and financial considerations that drive affordable housing development. Explore the zoning and land use challenges affecting project approvals, dive into LIHTC and other financing options, and learn about recent legislative, regulatory, and enforcement developments shaping the future of affordable housing. Register today!

  • Navigate zoning, land use, and permitting challenges that can delay or derail projects.
  • Gain a practical understanding of the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program.
  • Identify key funding sources beyond LIHTC, including HUD, FHA, HOME, CDBG, tax-exempt bonds, and other financing tools.
  • Review the ROAD to Housing Act and other legislative developments affecting affordable housing.
