Mission

THE NATIONAL HOUSING CONFERENCE HAS BEEN DEFENDING THE AMERICAN HOME SINCE 1931. WE BELIEVE EVERYONE IN AMERICA SHOULD HAVE EQUAL OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE IN A QUALITY, AFFORDABLE HOME IN A THRIVING COMMUNITY. NHC CONVENES AND COLLABORATES WITH OUR DIVERSE MEMBERSHIP AND THE BROADER HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SECTORS TO ADVANCE OUR POLICY, RESEARCH AND COMMUNICATIONS INITIATIVES TO EFFECT POSITIVE CHANGE AT THE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LEVELS. POLITICALLY DIVERSE AND NONPARTISAN, NHC IS A 501(C)(3) NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION.

Activities or mission (Part I)

THE NATIONAL HOUSING CONFERENCE IS A DIVERSE CONTINUUM OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING STAKEHOLDERS THAT CONVENE AND COLLABORATE THROUGH DIALOGUE, ADVOCACY, RESEARCH, AND EDUCATION, TO DEVELOP EQUITABLE SOLUTIONS THAT SERVE OUR COMMON INTEREST.

  • RAISING NATIONAL AWARENESS: NHC BUILDS NATIONWIDE AWARENESS REGARDING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING THROUGH VARIOUS MEANS, INCLUDING SOCIAL MEDIA, OP-ED CONTRIBUTIONS, MEDIA INTERVIEWS, AND THE PUBLICATION OF RESEARCH AND REPORTS. FURTHERMORE, NHC ORGANIZES AN ANNUAL CONVENING OF HOUSING COMMUNICATIONS LEADERS, CALLED "SOLUTIONS FOR HOUSING COMMUNICATIONS," WHICH SUCCESSFULLY ATTRACTED PROMINENT FIGURES IN THE HOUSING SECTOR IN 2024. NHC CONSISTENTLY DISSEMINATES ITS "MEMBER BRIEF," A WEEKLY POLICY UPDATE NEWSLETTER WITH A BROAD READERSHIP OF NEARLY 11,000 SUBSCRIBERS.

IN 2024, NHC HELD TWO MAJOR HOUSING CONVENINGS, SOLUTIONS FOR HOUSING COMMUNICATIONS AND SOLUTIONS FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING, THAT DREW 403 ATTENDEES AND 376 ATTENDEES, RESPECTIVELY. ADDITIONALLY, NHC CO-HOSTED AN EVENT TITLED "REVOLUTIONIZING HOMEOWNERSHIP: INNOVATIONS IN MORTGAGE TECH, AI, AND DATA", WHICH BROUGHT TOGETHER POLICYMAKERS, INDUSTRY EXPERTS, AND LEADERS TO EXAMINE HOW EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES ARE RESHAPING THE HOUSING SECTOR, WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON ADVANCEMENTS IN MORTGAGE PLATFORMS, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI), AND DATA TRANSPARENCY. THE EVENT DREW 299 ATTENDEES. ADDITIONALLY, NHC ALSO PARTNERED FOR AN EVENT TITLED "INNOVATION EXCHANGE WITH MAYORS SHARING SOLUTIONS FOR HOUSING AFFORDABILITY" WHICH CONVENED BIPARTISAN MAYORS, BUSINESS LEADERS, LAWMAKERS, THOUGHT LEADERS, AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS TO DISCUSS THE IMPORTANCE OF HOMEOWNERSHIP AND ISSUES IMPACTING RENTERS, AND DREW 218 ATTENDEES.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
