CARH’s national conferences are consistently regarded as among the premier affordable rural housing meetings in the country. We will deliver an exciting and engaging program with leading industry experts and government officials, who will deliver the latest information on regulations, pending legislation, and trends that impact your business.

During the two and a half day meeting, attendees will hear from CARH’s legislative and policy experts, government officials, and industry stakeholders about key topics, legislation, regulations, and policies affecting the affordable rural housing industry including:

• Funding for affordable housing programs, particularly rural multifamily housing for Fiscal Year 2023
• Long-term preservation solutions for the rural housing portfolio
• Furthering the public-private partnership that has developed throughout the years through the use of the Housing Credit and Bond programs
• Tips to effectively manage your business
• How to raise awareness with Congress and the Administration on the long-term needs of the industry and how both branches of government must respond to meet those needs, and much more!

The CARH standing committees will convene on Monday, June 27. This is your opportunity to promote the issues you’d like CARH to advance through its legislative work, or benefits and services you would like CARH to offer the membership. There will also be time to meet and greet the loyal vendors and service providers who offer goods and services to the industry, often at a discount.

CARH is also planning two receptions to meet and network with industry colleagues. We are very excited to announce that Monday’s reception will be held at the International Spy Museum in Washington, DC, whose mission is to educate the public about espionage and intelligence in an engaging way. It provides a context for understanding the important role intelligence has played in history and continues to play today. Attendees will be able to tour the museum and see the original James Bond Aston Martin DB5, a George Washington spy letter, a real-life lipstick pistol, spy cameras, hidden microphones, and all things espionage-related!

The networking reception at The Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City on Tuesday, June 28^th will feature an auction of five sought-after items! Proceeds from the auction will benefit the CARH Scholarship Foundation. The results of the CARH 2020 program will be revealed as well. CARH 2020 ranks the top rural housing owners, developers, and managers in the industry.
