Thanks to the generous support of The Duke Endowment (TDE), faith and community leaders can attend the 2027 Emerging Issues Forum: Future Forward Housing at no cost. The forum will take place on Feb. 17 at the NC State University McKimmon Center in Raleigh.

Housing challenges affect every community, industry and family across North Carolina. As the finale of IEI’s three-year Future Forward Infrastructure series, the 2027 forum will bring policymakers, industry experts, researchers, educators and community leaders together to examine the state’s housing landscape and identify innovative solutions that meet the needs of every North Carolinian.

A special registration type is reserved for individuals connected to TDE, including rural church clergy, lay leaders and community partners. Click the button below and select “Faith and Community Initiative Member” as your registration type. If you are NOT a TDE-eligible faith leader or community partner, please complete the general registration form for the forum.
