Join NACo for a timely briefing on the latest version of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which reflects key changes NACo fought for on behalf of county governments nationwide. In this webinar, you'll learn what's in the amended House version and what changed from the Senate bill, how NACo's advocacy shaped the final language, and what the legislation means for your county. Most importantly, you'll hear how you can take action now to help get this bill across the finish line.
This is your opportunity to get up to speed, ask questions directly, and find out how your voice can make a difference as Congress moves toward a final vote.
