Kevin Klingbeil joined tribal housing staff from throughout the country and representatives of numerous federal agencies in the discussion of emerging tribal homeownership programs, proposed federal rules, NAIHC's legislative priorities, and ground-breaking community development projects in tribal communities. 

Kevin Klingbeil engaged with the nation's premier affordable housing providers and funding sources on subjects ranging from the promotion of tribal homeownership to the recent designation of Opportunity Zones to promote investment in low-income communities, including many tribal areas.

Big Water staff attended the largest gathering of affordable housing organizations in Washington State, participated in a tour of historic buildings redeveloped into affordable urban housing facilities and learned about the widening gap between the demand for additional affordable housing supply and the development of new affordable rental units, legislation allowing for more efficient use of surplus government land, and other creative mechanisms to promote affordable housing development.
