Overview
The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is the most comprehensive overhaul of America’s federal affordable housing programs in more than a decade, making significant changes to existing programs and establishing new temporary pilot programs and policies, among other initiatives. During webinars in September and October, NCSHA members are invited to join our Policy and Government Affairs staffers and industry experts as they discuss the legislation’s potential impacts for HFAs and their partners.
Registration for this members-only two-part series is complimentary; preregistration is required. Register once to attend one or both sessions. Both sessions will be recorded and the recordings posted on NCSHA’s website for members who are not able to participate in the live programs.
Part I: Impacts for NCSHA Members | On Demand
The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act strengthens and modernizes many of the HUD and rural housing programs most important to state housing finance agencies and their partners. Delve into the Act’s major overhaul of the HOME Investment Partnerships Program; reforms to Rural Housing Service programs, including how decoupling rural rental assistance from the developments’ underlying mortgages could impact HFA priorities; and changes to Federal Housing Administration policies and loan limits.
