Learn About Washington D.C. Affordable Housing Development in 2022

From Policy to Partnerships, How Affordability is Playing Out Locally

With the Mayoral race underway, how will public policy — from Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act (TOPA), eviction moratoriums, and rent control — impact affordable housing development and financing trends in the District?
Under Mayor Bowser's new initiatives, from Takoma to Arlington, what submarkets in D.C. are being targeted for new affordable housing projects? What does project development and investment look like in the Wards?
How can elements of wellness — from ESG & social housing to healthy buildings — be better incorporated for affordability?
As construction costs continue to climb, how can investors establish meaningful partnerships and creatively finance much-needed housing in the District and surrounding submarkets?
Resident demands: what new trends are dominating in terms of spacial layouts, design, and development of new affordable units?

How You'll Do More Business: Missed last year's event? Affordability and housing are still dominating topics both nationally and in the District, with Mayor Bowser recently giving $135M to a series of new affordable housing projects. With the Mayor's office pushing for more housing west of Rock Creek Park, as well as market-rate developers delving into the affordable housing frenzy, learn what policy issues of today will impact tomorrow's affordable housing development pipeline, and how you can make the best investment and partnerships.
