As housing affordability remains a top national priority, policymakers in Washington are advancing a wave of legislative and regulatory initiatives aimed at boosting housing supply, expanding affordability, and reshaping the role of federal programs. In addition to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a bipartisan housing package—the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act—has gained significant momentum, alongside ongoing regulatory changes at HUD that are impacting rental assistance, development incentives, and compliance requirements. This session will explore how these evolving federal policy developments are translating into real-world impacts for issuers, developers, and housing finance agencies. Panelists will discuss the implications for tax-exempt financing, the use of federal and state housing tools, and where new opportunities and uncertainties are emerging across the market.
