Room Reservation Policy

You must first register for the conference with NCSHA before you can make a hotel reservation within NCSHA’s room block. The registration confirmation email you receive will include the link you need to make a reservation online at the Marriott Marquis Chicago; call-in reservations are not available.

Hotel rooms within NCSHA’s room block are for Housing Credit Connect & Marketplace registrants. Once registered, please do not reserve multiple hotel rooms or make reservations in the block for people who are not registered for the conference. NCSHA will review the hotel reservation list weekly and contact people found holding duplicate reservations or reservations without corresponding registrations. Failure to register within two business days thereafter will result in the cancellation of these reservations without further notice.

If you have housing questions or need assistance, email registration@ncsha.org or call NCSHA at 202-624-7710.
