Episode #1

David Gasson of MG Housing Strategies joins us to break down everything affordable housing professionals need to know about the state of play in the 119th Congress and the 2nd Trump Administration.

* The episode begins with a discussion on the 2nd Trump Administration broadly: what is affordable housing policy shaping up to look like in the coming years?

* Then, we dive into Congress and all the implications of the Big Beautiful Bill and beyond, including appropriations.

* Lastly, we cover other timely federal housing topics: Will the Trump administration take Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac out of conservatorship, and what could that mean for the housing market? And what is next for the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA)?
