The Affordable Housing Forum will be jointly sponsored by the Affordable Housing Tax Credit Coalition and Housing Advisory Group. Join us to hear from members of Congress, industry experts, and special guests who will discuss the state of the affordable housing industry, status of vital Housing Credit legislation, and everything you need to know to be an effective advocate.

Each year, the AHTCC Charles L. Edson Tax Credit Excellence Awards recognize outstanding Housing Credit developments at the forefront of creating stronger, healthier communities across the nation. Winners will be honored on Capitol Hill, where members of Congress will be invited to present the awards. At the awards ceremony, we will also present our Champion of Affordable Housing Awards and David Reznick Lifetime Achievement Awards.

All attendees may also engage directly on Capitol Hill as part of our Advocacy Event. Advocacy resources will be provided to all attendees prior to the event.
