National Housing Supply Summit;
Implementing Systems-Level Change

March 18, 2027
8:30am - 6:00pm
Washington, DC

At the third annual National Housing Supply Summit we will focus on how market and policy innovations across the housing value chain can support increased housing supply and affordability.

The program for the 2027 Summit is currently in development.

The National Housing Supply Summit is an exchange of ideas between industry & policymakers focused on building more housing in the U.S.

The National Housing Supply Summit (NHSS) is a joint initiative of the Housing Innovation Alliance and HousingTech.

The purpose of the convening and its related activities is to provide policymakers with perspectives from the field – insights from the people who swing the hammers, finance the deals, develop the building products, create the industry standards, and many others in the long value chain that makes up housing production – so that the policy process can be best informed to create an environment that will increase housing supply in the U.S.

NHSS focuses on the production of market-rate housing – which accounts for the majority of new single and multifamily production – and not Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) or Sec. 8 housing.

The question at hand that needs urgent attention is how the market can eliminate the structural deficit of several million housing units by being more innovative, more efficient, and more nimble.
