Topic update: we're doing both! Join us today at 1:30 PM Eastern (10:30 AM Pacific) for a packed Housing Update from Washington covering shutdown prep AND proposed FY26 HUD funding.
Register: nahro-org.zoom.us/webinar/regi...
If Congress appears headed for a government shutdown, our update will focus on shutdown preparedness. If the Senate is able to resolve concerns with DHS funding in the FY26 appropriations bills, we'll focus instead on the HUD funding levels.
