In this week’s episode, we welcome Benson (Buzz) Roberts, who has spent over 45 years serving affordable housing and community development, before retiring as President and CEO from the National Association of Affordable Housing Lenders last December.
NHC’s President and CEO David Dworkin sits down with Buzz to discuss his career and involvement in creating and improving ground-breaking policies such as the Low Income Housing Tax Credit, the New Markets Tax Credit, HOME Investment Partnerships block grants, the Capital Magnet Fund, Treasury Department funding for FHA multifamily risk-sharing loans, regulatory changes to the Community Reinvestment Act, and the proposed Neighborhood Homes Investment Act.
