Our Purpose
The mission of the Housing Advisory Group is to educate Members of Congress, Senators, their staffs, and administration officials on the value of the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) and affordable housing programs. Our policy and programmatic successes over the years, including the Tax Cuts and Job Creation Act of 2017, are a direct testament to the grassroots advocacy of HAG members and industry colleagues.
With the direct participation of our HAG members at the local level, we have cultivated personal relationships and helped these representatives develop a strong interest in and appreciation for affordable housing.
We Do This By:
Inviting Members of the Congress and their staffs to visit affordable housing communities in their home states and districts. We educate them on the importance of the continued construction and rehabilitation of affordable rental housing units, highlighting the individuals and families living there.
Emphasizing the economic impact construction and rehabilitation of housing has in their communities. By demonstrating that affordable housing helps public safety personnel, teachers, single working mothers, the elderly, and veterans, we give members a human connection.
The Housing Advisory Group encourages our members to reach out and develop relationships with their congressional representatives, emphasizing the importance of the LIHTC and affordable housing programs to their constituents. The tools on the accompanying pages will assist you in these efforts and we encourage you to let us know how we can augment your efforts at home with these decision makers.
