The Opportunity Funds Association (OFA) was proud to be featured at HUD’s 2025 Innovative Housing Showcase on the National Mall, hosted by HUD Secretary Scott Turner, with special guest former HUD Secretary Dr. Ben Carson.
Together, they spotlighted how Opportunity Zones continue to drive revitalization, unlock capital, and expand housing pathways that make the American Dream possible in communities nationwide.
OFA is proud to represent the voice of the Opportunity Zone industry and to continue advancing policies and partnerships that deliver lasting community impact.
