31-F. Policy Update: Achieving Affordable Housing Goals

LeadingAge works diligently with Congress and federal housing agencies to achieve our bold policy goals to preserve, expand, and enhance affordable housing for older adults. This session will offer an overview of that work. Staff from congressional offices and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will be on hand to discuss their goals regarding housing for older adults. In addition, LeadingAge’s Advocacy Team will help you prepare for Lobby Day by exploring how congressional and HUD goals align with LeadingAge’s goals and the areas where they diverge. Join us as we review funding, policy, and operational issues affecting affordable housing, including the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program, housing plus services and service coordination initiatives, asset limits, insurance, and inspections.
