Testimonials
The National Housing Center is our organization’s first choice for a venue when holding large meetings. It’s in a prime location with very reasonable rates, especially for audio visual needs, which is ordinarily quite expensive. Over the past five years, the Center has facilitated many of our events. It’s an outstanding facility with excellent, professional staff who are truly a joy to work with.
We have been holding events at the National Housing Center for more than a decade and absolutely love the space. The atrium is spectacular for all types of networking events. It’s huge, open and airy, and lets in loads of light! The auditorium is the perfect space for our faculty lectures, speed networking events and other programs that require lecture-style or ballroom-type setups for 200+ guests. The staff are a true pleasure to work with. This is a premier event space in a fabulous D.C. location.
