On June 24th, NHC members and other housing leaders from around the country joined national experts to debate how we should reshape America’s housing finance system. 

NHC convened over 200 participants with a wide range of perspectives for a nonpartisan, highly engaging morning of policy discussion.  All options were on the table, and many voices were heard:  right and left, for-profit and non-profit, public and private sector.  Topics covered included: single-family mortgage finance, multifamily mortgage finance, Treasury’s options proposal, and the perspective from Congress.

For more on the event, please visit NHC's Open House blog.
