NALHFA Annual Conference

Innovating the Future of Affordable Housing

Call for Session Proposals

Due January 8, 2026

The NALHFA Annual Conference is where the affordable housing finance community comes together to tackle the nation’s most urgent housing challenges — and we want your voice at the center of that conversation.

This nationally recognized conference draws local housing finance agencies, public and private sector leaders, policy influencers, and industry innovators from across the country. It’s more than just a stage — it’s a platform to share your ideas, showcase your expertise, and shape the future of affordable housing.

This upcoming event will be held on May 4-6, 2026 in San Antonio Texas.

*This link will take you to the session proposal form as well as the eligibility and instructions for submission. Please read these prior to submitting your proposal.
