Presented by the Joint Center for Housing Studies: The new Trump administration and the Republican-controlled Congress could portend significant changes in the many federal programs and policies that affect housing and community development. While it is too soon to know exactly what the new administration and Congress will do, there are likely to be important discussions and debates in the coming months about such topics as: future federal funding and tax incentives for housing, enforcement of fair housing laws, the future of entities like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and a host of other federal policies that affect housing and community development such as infrastructure and immigration. Panelists will discuss what they see as the most significant threats and possible opportunities, as well as how officials and advocates can prepare for, respond to, and possibly shape key policies and programs in the next few years.
