Description

NCSHA’s Housing Credit Connect is the industry event of the year, offering decision-makers from the Housing Credit allocating agencies and their industry partners unparalleled professional development and networking opportunities.

Capitalizing on this year’s location in San Francisco, we have invited State Treasurer Fiona Ma to discuss the magnitude of California’s affordable housing crisis and innovative strategies to combat it by leveraging the Housing Credit and tax-exempt bonds, as well as new incentives for affordable housing development in Opportunity Zones.

The plenary sets the stage for nearly 30 interactive educational sessions covering the latest issues in Housing Credit development, finance, compliance, and management.

Hot topics include the outlook for legislative program changes, implementation of significant new program guidance from Treasury and HUD, the impact of the new income averaging minimum set-aside on development and compliance, innovative tax-exempt bond financing strategies, the latest Housing Credit equity market activity, leveraging the Credit in Opportunity Zones, the impact of tax reform on deal structuring, new Housing Credit preservation tactics, and a special closing plenary focusing on the future of the Housing Credit program.

This conference brings together 1,200 attendees, including executive directors and senior staff from the nation’s Housing Credit allocating agencies, federal agency officials, and leading affordable housing developers, lenders, syndicators, investors, tax advisors, asset managers, nonprofits, compliance experts, property managers, and service providers.

Partner Voices
MGM Resorts is committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse culture, not just among employees and guests but also within its supply chain. The company prioritizes procuring goods and services from businesses owned by minorities, women, veterans, people with disabilities, LGBTQ individuals and those facing economic disadvantages. This commitment is integral to MGM Resorts' global procurement strategy.    Through its voluntary supplier diversity program, MGM Resorts actively identifies and connects certified diverse-owned suppliers to opportunities within its supply chain. The company is on track to spend at least 15% of its biddable procurement with diverse-owned businesses by 2025, demonstrating that supplier diversity is not only a social responsibility but also a strategic business imperative.    Supplier diversity isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s good for business. A diverse supply chain allows access to a broader range of perspectives and experience, helping to drive innovation, entrepreneurship and resilience, while strengthening communities. At MGM Resorts, engaging diverse suppliers ensures best-in-class experiences for guests and clients. Supplier diversity ensures a more resilient supply chain while supporting economic development in the communities in which it operates.   The impact of MGM Resorts' supplier diversity initiatives is significant. In 2023, these efforts supported over 3,500 jobs across more than 30 states, contributed over $214 million in income for diverse-owned businesses and generated more than $62 million in tax revenue. The story extends beyond the numbers – it reflects the tangible benefits brought to small and diverse-owned businesses, fostering economic empowerment in their communities.    MGM Resorts also supports the development and business skills of diverse-owned businesses through investment, mentorship and education. Through the MGM Resorts Supplier Diversity Mentorship Program, the company identifies, mentors and develops diverse-owned businesses to fill its future pipeline, while providing businesses with tools and resources to empower and uplift. Since 2017, the program has successfully graduated 105 diverse-owned businesses and is on track to achieve its goal of 150 graduates by 2025.     MGM Resorts’ commitment to supplier diversity not only enhances its business operations but also plays a crucial role in uplifting communities and fostering economic development. This approach reinforces the idea that diversity is a powerful driver of innovation and resilience, benefiting both the company and the wider community.
