Why You Can’t Miss this First-Time Conference
Inspired by our Bisnow’s BMAC East series, our East Coast Affordable Housing Summit is a full-day event featuring 6+ panels discussing all aspects of affordable housing up to Boston down to Florida. From discussions on policy, financing, partnerships and public-private initiatives, asset management, construction, development, and design, join Bisnow as we bring together top leaders across the industry to discuss the unique challenges and opportunities they see in their distinct missions to create accessible, affordable housing for all.
What You’ll Learn:
- Hear how investors are structuring deals amid elevated interest rates and tighter debt, layering LIHTC equity, tax-exempt bonds, soft debt, and gap financing, and repricing risk and returns while keeping projects feasible
- How leaders are predicting the future of the 9% and 4% LIHTC programs, particularly after recent changes made by the Trump administration, as well as state-level allocation changes and competitiveness, and potential expansions or reforms tied to affordability initiatives
- How owners and developers are grappling with labor shortages and material volatility, value engineering without compromising long-term durability, and phasing projects or redesigning unit mixes to control costs
- How operators are managing operating cost inflation (insurance, utilities, staffing), preserving affordability while maintaining quality and compliance, and using technology and data to improve efficiency and resident outcomes
- The success stories: How owners and developers are working with municipalities on zoning, density, and land contributions, leveraging public land and incentives to unlock new supply, and navigating local political dynamics and community opposition
- The Missing Middle: How CRE experts are serving households earning 60–120% AMI who fall outside traditional subsidies, blending affordable, workforce, and market-rate units, and attracting broader capital sources while meeting community needs.
Who You’ll Hear From: Top Owners, Developers, Investors, Political Officials, Foundations and Associations, and Providers working to build and preserve affordable housing up and down the East Coast.
