Overview
LISC (Local Initiatives Support Corporation) is hosting a free webinar on Wednesday, June 25th at 2 PM Eastern Time about federal policies that affect housing and economic development. Congress is currently working on a huge tax package worth several trillion dollars and planning the 2026 federal budget with over $1.5 trillion in additional spending. At the same time, housing has become much harder to afford across the country, with fewer places where families can afford to rent or buy decent homes. This webinar will bring together lawmakers from Congress and community practitioners to discuss what opportunities exist for action and what happens if we don't act. The speakers haven't been announced yet, but this event goes along with LISC's 2025-2026 Policy Priorities that were recently released. People can register for free to join the conversation about how federal policies impact housing affordability and community economic development.

5 trillion in additional discretionary spending. At the same time, the issue of housing supply and affordability has become increasingly paramount, with fewer geographies in the country where families can afford to rent, much less purchase, a decent home. It seems like this would be an ideal moment to make more investments in our housing and community infrastructure, but is Congress and the Administration ready to meet the moment?
To accompany the recent release of LISC's 2025-2026 Policy Priorities , we invite you to join us in conversations with policy makers on the Hill and practitioners working to improve our communities to learn about opportunities for action, and the high costs of inaction.
