Advocacy & Policy

What We Do

NAHRO’s Policy and Legislative Affairs team works to educate Congress, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and other federal agencies about the programs NAHRO members administer and the resources and guidance they need, and provides resources for NAHRO members to do the same.

NAHRO Priorities

NAHRO’s legislative and regulatory priorities support quality, affordable housing and thriving communities. We want:

  • Adequate and responsible funding
  • Holistic and equitable approaches to community development
  • Streamlined programs that build and preserve affordable units
  • Creative, local solutions
