Housing Assistance Council National Rural Housing Conference

The 2023 NRHC theme is Build Rural.  Thriving rural communities don’t happen by accident.  It takes collaborative effort, leadership, investment and planning to build equitable and just communities.  Build Rural is both a literal and figurative appeal to explore and provoke action to build and renew rural communities by addressing housing affordability and preservation, community infrastructure and essential facilities creation and revitalization, resident led placemaking, capacity building, and community inclusion and justice efforts. Build Rural is a platform to share successes and best practices for addressing the nexus of housing and community development.  It’s a space to highlight and enhance the narrative of rural America through presentations of stories, data, programs, policies, and approaches.
