5th Annual LGBTQ+ Housing Policy Symposium Returns to Washington, D.C. on June 11–12
With federal fair housing protections under active attack, the Alliance’s flagship policy event is more urgent than ever.
The 2026 LGBTQ+ Housing Policy Symposium may be the most important event the Alliance has ever hosted. Federal attacks on the LGBTQ+ community have escalated sharply. What began in statehouses across the country has now reached the federal government directly. As a result, new barriers stand between LGBTQ+ Americans and the financial stability that homeownership provides.
Why This LGBTQ+ Fair Housing Conference Matters More Than Ever
This is not business as usual. The current administration has rolled back critical fair housing protections that the LGBTQ+ community fought hard to secure. These actions carry wide-ranging repercussions for LGBTQ+ homebuyers, renters, and real estate professionals. Therefore, the Alliance is calling on every member to show up — in Washington, D.C., in the halls of Congress, and in the rooms where leaders make policy decisions.
The Symposium brings together leaders from the LGBTQ+ community, corporate partners, Alliance members, and policy experts at the national, state, and local levels. Together, we will have a focused conversation about the positive actions that can preserve fair and equal housing for all.
Your Visit to Capitol Hill
The Symposium is not just an LGBTQ+ fair housing conference — it is a direct lobbying effort. Specifically, on June 11, attendees will walk the halls of Congress and speak with their elected representatives. You will share the human and economic impact of anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination. Furthermore, you will carry powerful data: 23% of adults under 30 now identify as LGBTQ+, and millions of supportive family members and colleagues are watching. In short, we represent a constituency no elected official can afford to dismiss.
Plan Your Full Washington, D.C. Trip
The Symposium runs the week before NAR Midyear Meetings, making it easy to combine both events in one trip. Whether you are a first-time attendee or a returning delegate, you will leave with a clearer picture of the legislative landscape. Additionally, you will build new relationships with advocates from across the Alliance network. Real change happens when real estate professionals show up — and this is your moment.
