How to Join the 50+ Housing Council

Join the 50+ Housing Council Today!The NAHB 50+ Housing Council supports members by providing nationally recognized educational programs, industry research, networking opportunities, specialized publications, awards and recognition programs, and regulatory and legislative assistance to 50+ housing professionals.

To join, you must be a member of NAHB. If your state or local HBA operates a local council, you should join locally. If no council is operating in your area, you can purchase an at-large membership for $100.

Here are three quick ways to become an at-large NAHB 50+ Housing Council member:

  1. Join online. Any NAHB member logged into the NAHB website can become an at-large council member. If you aren't logged in, or don't have your PIN number (which you will need to create a login), call Membership staff at 800-368-5242 x8347 or 50+ staff at x8550 to have them look it up.
  2. Download a 50+ Housing Council membership application form and fax it in.
  3. Call 50+ Housing Council staff at 800-368-5242 x8550 and they'll take your registration information over the phone.

If you don't belong to NAHB, you can still access valuable resources by subscribing to 50+ Housing Online Magazine by contacting the editor.
