Press Releases from 2021

The National Housing Conference (NHC), the nation’s oldest and broadest housing coalition, today announced the hiring of Luke Villalobos as its new policy and research director.

The National Housing Conference (NHC) commends the U.S. Department of the Treasury for moving rapidly in issuing guidance for the Homeowner Assistance Fund (HAF). The fund is a critical piece of the American Rescue Plan and an important step forward in building back greater economic stability for the nation. 

HUD’s reinstatement of these critically important civil rights rules is an important first step to ensuring that federal, state and local governments are committed to fair housing and closing the significant and unacceptable racial wealth gap.

President Biden’s infrastructure plan represents a major achievement in recognizing housing as essential human infrastructure. The historic level of funding proposed would be an investment in the future of our country by addressing the persistent affordable housing needs faced by millions of Americans. Increasing and preserving housing stock that is affordable creates jobs, fights social and economic inequities, and helps stabilize our economy.

Adrianne Todman would bring a perfect combination of experience to one of the nation’s most important positions in housing. She understands the needs of HUD’s primary constituencies, who are the housing and redevelopment officials throughout the country navigating HUD’s programs and successfully maximizing the impact of its funding.
