Join us for our 34th annual Affordable Housing Summit. “The Future of Affordable Housing: Weathering the Storm”. OUR PURPOSE: AHCMC is committed to uniting elected officials, housing and community development leaders, business professionals, and activists to work together to identify and advance affordable housing solutions. We advocate for policies, programs, and legislation that aim to preserve, maintain, and create affordable housing in Montgomery County. At AHCMC, we believe that affordable, decent, and safe housing is an inalienable right— not a privilege—for every American. Through our annual Summit, regular roundtables, and publications, AHCMC and our housing partners have tackled numerous affordable housing issues. THE EVENT: Last year’s summit attracted over 600 concerned professionals and citizens, including community and business leaders, housing experts, and activists and this year’s summit promises to be equally enriching. Through diverse panels and open discussion, we will distill the best ways to fight for continued improvements in access to affordable housing for low-and moderate-income households. Alongside our panel discussions, we also feature initiatives that directly support homebuyers and promote housing accessibility. Our “Breaking the Barrier to Homeownership” contest allows first-time homebuyers to receive closing cost assistance for their first home purchase. Since 2001, AHCMC and our sponsors have provided over $400,000 in support to more than 40 moderate-income individuals and families through this grant program. To further enrich our conference activities each year, we have been fortunate to host a variety of leaders from HUD and local government, who have played a key role in shaping our discussions. In years past, we have had the distinct privilege of hosting former HUD Secretaries and officials who have shared their insights on the housing crisis and its impact on our community. Their expertise has helped drive important conversations and deepen our understanding of the challenges and opportunities in affordable housing.
