Thank You for Joining Us at NALHFA 2025!

NALHFA’s 2025 Annual Conference brought together the affordable housing finance and economic development community for three impactful days of learning, networking, and inspiration in Minneapolis. Attendees explored real-world case studies, heard from leading industry voices, and engaged with local government and program-level professionals from across the country.

From foundational bond finance education to deep dives on national policy and hands-on leadership training, the conference was designed to provide attendees with bold ideas, actionable tools, and fresh takeaways. Keynote speakers included Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota Peggy Flanagan, Minnesota Housing Commissioner Jennifer Leimaile Ho, Mayor of Minneapolis Jacob Frey, Mark Schmidt, CFA, and Dr. Gregg Colburn, whose insights helped frame the future of affordable housing strategy.
