Mayor Bowser and National League of Cities to Host National Housing Summit
Washington, DC – Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser and the National League of Cities (NLC) announced that they will host a National Housing Summit on January 15, 2025. The summit will bring together mayors, city leaders, housing advocates, and industry experts to discuss the critical need for affordable housing in cities across the country.
“Housing is a fundamental human right, but it is becoming increasingly unaffordable for families in our cities,” said Mayor Bowser. “This summit will provide a platform for us to share best practices, identify innovative solutions, and advocate for policies that will help us create more affordable housing for all.”
The summit will feature a keynote address from Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Marcia Fudge, as well as panel discussions on a variety of topics, including:
- The impact of rising housing costs on cities
- Innovative strategies for creating affordable housing
- The role of federal, state, and local governments in addressing the housing crisis
- The importance of community engagement in housing development
“Cities are on the front lines of the housing crisis, and we need to come together to find solutions,” said NLC President Victoria Woodards. “This summit will be a critical opportunity for us to learn from each other and develop a roadmap for action.”
The summit will be held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC. Registration for the summit is now open at www.nlc.org/housing-summit.
