No matter if you live in a single-family home, an apartment, a townhouse or a condo, federal real estate programs affect you.

From individual tax deductions to loan guarantees to commercial tax credits, these programs impact nearly every neighborhood in the United States. How could this spending better support economic growth? How could it better benefit individuals and families? And how could federal taxpayers get more for their money?

Join Smart Growth America and LOCUS, our coalition of responsible real estate developers and investors, on Thursday as we answer these questions and discuss new ideas for federal involvement in real estate.

On Thursday’s call we’ll discuss a new set of recommendations for how to improve $450 billion worth of annual real estate spending and commitments. The new recommendations have the potential to improve communities across the country.

Do you have questions you want answered on Thursday’s call? Join the conversation on Twitter at #RethinkRealEstate.

We hope you’ll join us then.
