Monrovia, Liberia – The National Housing Authority (NHA) of Liberia is set to bring housing opportunities, diaspora investment, and national development into the spotlight as it prepares to participate in the 2026 Liberia Diaspora Annual Conference, scheduled for September 25–27, 2026, in Washington, D.C., United States of America.
Held under the theme “Building Decent & Affordable Homes for Liberians,” the conference is expected to provide a platform for high-level dialogue, strategic partnerships, and investment opportunities aimed at addressing Liberia’s housing needs while strengthening the contribution of Liberians in the diaspora to national development.
The conference, organized around the broader theme of People, Partnerships, Progress, will connect members of the Liberian diaspora with housing opportunities, investment prospects, and development initiatives through direct engagement with government officials and other key stakeholders.
A major highlight will be a Presidential Town Hall featuring His Excellency Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr., President of the Republic of Liberia, alongside key government officials and national leadership.
The engagement is expected to provide an opportunity for dialogue on Liberia’s development priorities and the role of diaspora participation in advancing the country’s transformation agenda.
Advancing Liberia’s Housing Agenda
At the center of the NHA’s participation is an ambitious housing agenda designed to expand access to decent and affordable homes while promoting sustainable housing development across Liberia.
The Authority has outlined four major targets:
600 new housing units through direct government support by 2029;
5,000 new and affordable housing units through public-private partnerships by 2029;
Construction of 16 Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) facilities in four slum communities in Monrovia; and
Development, delivery, and launch of Liberia’s first National Housing Information System (HIS).
These targets reflect the NHA’s stated commitment to expanding housing opportunities, strengthening partnerships, and improving access to housing-related information and services.
The Authority is also advancing housing-financing arrangements, including tripartite partnerships with local banks to establish housing mortgage opportunities for prospective homeowners.
Connecting the Diaspora to Homeownership
For many Liberians living abroad, investing in property and securing a home in Liberia remain important aspirations.
The conference is expected to provide a platform for connecting diaspora communities with housing opportunities and potential investment partnerships.
Through its participation, the NHA seeks to strengthen engagement with Liberians abroad, encourage investment in the country’s housing sector, and explore partnerships that can contribute to sustainable national development.
The initiative also aligns with the Authority’s broader vision of promoting decent homes, stronger families, and a greater Liberia.
The 2026 Liberia Diaspora Annual Conference will take place at the Executive Mansion Ground, behind the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Capitol Hill, Liberia, with associated conference activities scheduled in Washington, D.C., from September 25–27, 2026.
Liberians in the diaspora and other interested participants are encouraged to scan the QR code on the conference flyer to complete the registration form and explore opportunities to participate in the housing initiative.
As Liberia looks toward the future, the NHA’s message is clear: connecting people, mobilizing partnerships, and expanding access to decent and affordable housing are essential steps toward building a stronger Liberia.
