LGBTQ+ Housing Policy Symposium 2026

June 11 - 12 in Washington, D.C.

Registration now open!

Separator

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 moved directly to the federal government. As a result, new barriers now stand between LGBTQ+ Americans and the financial stability that homeownership provides.

Why the LGBTQ+ Housing Policy Symposium 2026 Matters More Than Ever

This is not business as usual. The current administration's actions carry wide-ranging repercussions for LGBTQ+ homebuyers, renters, and real estate professionals. Consequently, the Alliance is calling on every member to show up in Washington, D.C., in the halls of Congress, and in the rooms where policy decisions are made.

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 what positive actions can preserve fair and equal housing for all.

YOUR VISIT TO CAPITOL HILL

The LGBTQ+ Housing Policy Symposium provides us all with the opportunity to lobby on behalf of the Alliance and the LGBTQ+ community. On June 11, attendees will walk the halls of Congress to speak with their elected representatives. You will share the human and economic impact of anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination. Moreover, you will carry powerful data: the LGBTQ+ population is growing, and millions of supportive parents, family members, friends, and colleagues are watching. Together, we are a constituency that cannot be ignored.
