Washington, D.C., April 10, 2025 – David M. Dworkin, President and CEO of the National Housing Conference, issued the following statement in response to today’s reintroduction of the Neighborhood Homes Investment Act:
“The Neighborhood Homes Investment Act (NHIA) will revitalize distressed urban, suburban, and rural neighborhoods with federal tax credits, mobilizing private investment to build and rehabilitate homes for lower- and middle-income homeowners. With a shortage of affordable housing supply, this initiative would help bridge the gap between development costs and market prices in neighborhoods where housing values don’t currently support new construction and rehabilitation lending. Over the next decade, NHIA can support the creation of hundreds of thousands of homes where it’s needed most. NHIA is one of the top priorities of the National Housing Conference. We are committed to working with policymakers and stakeholders to advance this vital, bipartisan legislation.”
