-Overview


Uncertainty can cause concern.
But it can also provide opportunities.


Which is why we’re hosting the annual CDFA Federal Policy Conference presented with CHFA this April 15-16 in Washington D.C. This is your chance to hear from - and be heard by - the people who are influencing the development finance industry at the federal level.

A new President. A new Congress. A lot of questions.
What can we expect from the Trump Administration? What’s the future of programs like SSBCI and GGRF? Are Tax-Exempt and Private Activity Bonds in danger of being eliminated? We’re going to be talking about these and a number of other topics that we know are important to you and directly impact the development finance work you’re doing.

This isn’t just a networking conference with informative breakout sessions - it’s a chance to literally sit at the table and talk with representatives from the U.S. Departments of Agriculture, Energy, Housing & Urban Development, Transportation, and Treasury, as well as the U.S. Small Business Administration, Environmental Protection Agency, and Economic Development Administration. And it’s a chance to join us and your peers in making sure our industry’s voice and concerns are heard.

So plan to join us in Washington D.C. this April.
Reserve your seat at this important meeting of the minds, and help us turn uncertainty into opportunity. Register today!
