#WashCon26 — Where Housing Advocacy Meets Action!

Housing policy is moving fast and 2026 is a critical year to be at the table.

The 2026 Washington Conference, taking place March 9-11 at the Grand Hyatt Washington, brings housing professionals, advocates, and policymakers together in Washington, D.C. for three days focused on influence, insight, and action.

This national gathering is built for people who don’t just follow housing policy, they help shape it. From federal legislation to local implementation, the conference creates space for honest dialogue, practical learning, and coordinated advocacy at every level.

What Sets the Washington Conference Apart?

Built around NAHRO Capitol Hill Day, this conference is designed for action. Attendees receive complimentary support scheduling Hill visits, take part in timely policy discussions, hear directly from housing leaders and lawmakers, and engage in sessions that connect advocacy to real-world outcomes—all while building meaningful connections with peers and decision-makers nationwide.

What’s on the Agenda?

  • Plenary sessions with compelling speakers and recognition of the 2026 Advocacy Award (nominations now open), 2026 Legislators of the Year, and the 2025–26 “What Home Means to Me” Poster Contest winner
  • Concurrent sessions on homelessness strategies, RAD and multifamily housing, LIHTC, media relations, legal issues, youth engagement, and advocacy
  • A dedicated overview for first-time attendees
  • Two evening networking receptions
  • State and regional caucus meetings (available upon request)
  • NAHRO Capitol Hill Day
  • Additional programming to be announced

Whether you’re advancing housing services, championing equity, or developing policy, the Washington Conference offers the tools, connections, and perspective you need to make your voice count in 2026.
