Housing Supply Accelerator Summit

This event is a private event that requires registration

Join National League of Cities (NLC) and the American Planning Association (APA) for the 2025 Housing Supply Accelerator Summit. Offering an opportunity to forge critical partnerships, this summit will explore how robust public-private and federal-local local-federal partnerships can accelerate housing supply solutions at the local level.

The Summit will gather a diverse group of stakeholders — local, state, and federal elected leaders, planners, policymakers, major employers, builders, realtors, developers, and financial institutions — to address housing supply challenges. Participants will benefit from dynamic and timely fireside chats and panels with leading experts and can explore housing supply solutions in two dedicated tracks: public-private partnerships and federal-local partnerships.
