This panel discussion, co-hosted by Interfaith Power & Light, will explore the recently introduced “Direct Pay” or Elective Pay Solar PV Incentive, made available through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

The discussion will cover:

Steps non-profits can take to access this incentive.
Key considerations for deciding whether to rent or own a solar system.

Aquifers - Threats and Solutions
2025-04-30 14:00 - 16:00 | Montgomery County Green Bank, 21 Church St, Rockville, 20850, United States
​Panel discussion on Groundwater/Aquifer Threats and Solutions by members of the Presidents Council of Science and Technology. This is the official, public presentation of their findings and recommendations.
​This is a critical discussion for those who like to have reliable drinking water.
​The U.S. is facing a serious and unprecedented groundwater challenge. Across the U.S., groundwater withdrawal has outpaced natural recharge, while slow natural recharge has been exacerbated by climate change and precipitation variability, including floods, droughts, and early snowmelt. Groundwater is a critical resource for agriculture, domestic manufacturing, construction, mining, energy production, and other uses.
​The largest use of groundwater, at 70%, is for irrigation. Moreover, groundwater supplies drinking water for half the U.S. population and nearly all the rural population. Sustaining and securing groundwater is thus central to our Nation’s health, food, water, and energy security, and economy. Adding to the challenge, much of the water in the major aquifers in the U.S. is fossil water, meaning it was last recharged over 10,000 years ago and will not be replaced naturally in centuries and millennia. In the western U.S., groundwater resources are being depleted at alarming rates.
​The depletion has caused land subsidence and earth fissures as well as permanent reduction of storage capacity due to inelastic compaction of the subsurface formation.

Join us for our 34th annual Affordable Housing Summit. “The Future of Affordable Housing: Weathering the Storm”.
Last year’s summit attracted over 600 concerned professionals and citizens, including community and business leaders, housing experts, and activists and this year’s summit promises to be equally enriching. Through diverse panels and open discussion, we will distill the best ways to fight for continued improvements in access to affordable housing for low-and moderate-income households.
Alongside our panel discussions, we also feature initiatives that directly support homebuyers and promote housing accessibility. Our “Breaking the Barrier to Homeownership” contest allows first-time homebuyers to receive closing cost assistance for their first home purchase. Since 2001, AHCMC and our sponsors have provided over $400,000 in support to more than 40 moderate-income individuals and families through this grant program.
To further enrich our conference activities each year, we have been fortunate to host a variety of leaders from HUD and local government, who have played a key role in shaping our discussions. In years past, we have had the distinct privilege of hosting former HUD Secretaries and officials who have shared their insights on the housing crisis and its impact on our community. Their expertise has helped drive important conversations and deepen our understanding of the challenges and opportunities in affordable housing.
