Now that the landmark 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is law, join us to hear from federal affordable housing policy and budget experts about implementation and anticipated impacts of the Act and next steps needed for advocacy in Washington, D.C. Our popular panelists are also back to discuss the importance of the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) and how proposed rule changes would undermine its reach and success in financing affordable housing and to provide updates on funding for HUD programs including rental assistance and rule changes that will impact tenants such as work requirements, time limits and repeal of the "mixed status" family rule. The panelists will also consider how the upcoming midterm elections could shape congressional housing policy and funding.
