As housing shortages intensify across the U.S., this Virtual Summit explores how the municipal market can play a pivotal role in addressing affordability gaps and supply constraints. Experts will examine where workforce housing deals succeed, the federal government’s evolving role, and how financing tools like TIFIA and Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing loans can support real estate development. The program will also unpack the impact of the lowered 25% threshold for bond-financed housing credit properties and what it means for expanding access to tax-exempt bond financing. Attendees will gain practical insight into how issuers are positioning themselves to unlock new housing opportunities and scale impact-driven development nationwide.
