Learn About Federal Housing & Money Policies - Free Online Event June 25

LISC (Local Initiatives Support Corporation) is hosting a free webinar on Wednesday, June 25th at 2 PM Eastern Time about federal policies that affect housing and economic development. Congress is currently working on a huge tax package worth several trillion dollars and planning the 2026 federal budget with over $1.5 trillion in additional spending. At the same time, housing has become much harder to afford across the country, with fewer places where families can afford to rent or buy decent homes. This webinar will bring together lawmakers from Congress and community practitioners to discuss what opportunities exist for action and what happens if we don't act. The speakers haven't been announced yet, but this event goes along with LISC's 2025-2026 Policy Priorities that were recently released. People can register for free to join the conversation about how federal policies impact housing affordability and community economic development. LISC works to strengthen communities by helping with housing, economic development, and other community needs. This is a chance for people to learn from both policymakers and people working directly in communities.
