CHAPA Breakfast Forum: Doing Business in Times of Uncertainty, Part IV

Presidential impeachment votes and the 2020 election are right around the corner! A new spending bill and updated regulations to the Community Reinvestment Act have just been released. What do all of these changes mean for the future of affordable housing?
