Despite being a critical resource for ensuring low-income families have an affordable home, public housing suffers from decades of underfunding by Congress. As a result, public housing agencies have been unable to address their growing capital repair needs, leaving too many families living in deteriorating and unacceptable conditions. NLIHC’s March 27-29 Housing Policy Forum: Seizing the Moment for Bold Solutions in Washington, DC, will feature a panel that will explore how we can best preserve public housing through current law and new solutions while protecting the rights of residents to live in safe, decent homes. The Forum pre-event registration deadline has been extended to tomorrow, March 19. Register today!!
Featured speakers at the Future of Public Housing session are:

The theme of this year’s Forum is “seizing the moment for bold solutions.” Public and policy-maker awareness about the affordable housing crisis in America is growing, and a number of members of Congress – including several presidential candidates – are proposing game-changing solutions. Forum participants will engage with elected officials, affordable housing advocates, thought-leaders, policy experts, researchers, housing providers, low-income residents, and congressional staff to explore the current challenges and ways to achieve real solutions.
