Advocacy Materials

NCSHA’s 2020 Congressional Handout is available here as a PDF. During the Legislative Conference, you can pick up professionally printed copies from the Legislative Materials Center (next to Registration) to take to your meetings.

This effective tool can be used to communicate to members of Congress, state officials, and business partners the important work HFAs do. 

To order printed copies of the Congressional Handout, please contact Lovely Padua-Hare.
