Apr 18, 2025

NLIHC wishes to thank all those who attended our 2025 Housing Policy Forum and Leadership Awards Reception! Held at the Hilton Capitol Hill Hotel in Washington D.C. on March 24-27, the sold-out event featured an array of plenary sessions and breakouts on a wide range of topics. More than 500 advocates from around the country were in attendance, as well as nearly 200 other participants who attended virtually. 

Plenary sessions included an opening keynote discussion with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones, and addresses by Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Senator Mike Rounds (R-SD), Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE), and recorded remarks from Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), Congressman Emmanuel Cleaver (D-MO), and Congressman Ritchie Torres (D-NY)! NLIHC's Leadership Awards Reception also honored Senator Tina Smith (D-MN), Mac McCreight, Susan Thomas, and Rob Robinson!
