Nalhfa Conference Program

The National Association of Local Housing Finance Agencies (NALHFA), established in 1982, serves as the premier national association for professionals dedicated to financing affordable housing initiatives at the local level. As a non-profit entity, NALHFA primarily functions as an advocate, engaging with Congress and federal agencies on critical legislative and regulatory matters affecting the affordable housing finance industry. Its membership comprises city and county agencies, non-profit organizations, and various private firms such as underwriters, consultants, and financial advisors, all contributing to the full lifecycle of housing development.

NALHFA distinguishes itself by providing expert advocacy resources, niche educational opportunities, and fostering meaningful industry connections for its nationwide network of local housing finance agencies (HFAs), developers, and private sector partners. Located strategically in Washington, D.C., the association leverages strong ties on Capitol Hill to act as a unified voice for affordable housing professionals across the country. Its history is marked by significant legislative victories aimed at advancing affordable housing finance for decades.

Committed to fostering robust industry partnerships, NALHFA offers essential technical assistance to support the next generation of housing professionals and guides the affordable housing sector through complex regulatory landscapes. Through its comprehensive approach, NALHFA ensures that its members are well-informed, connected, and equipped with the necessary tools and resources to make a tangible positive impact within their communities.
