The Legal Action Committee presides over matters concerning financial, research and strategic assistance in litigation and other legal matters.

A principle objective of the committee is to review and recommend monetary assistance for legal cases of national significance to the housing industry from the Legal Action Fund, and work with members and property owners on the advancement of land use and environmental cases before the United States Supreme Court and lower federal and state courts.

The committee authorizes the filing of legal briefs in conjunction with HBA and member company litigation, monitors and disseminates information on important cases, and recommends legal strategies to NAHB-affiliated state and local associations and NAHB membership.

In addition, the committee oversees NAHB’s litigation, Amicus Brief, Legal Action Network for Development Strategies (LANDS), and Legal Ordinance Review programs.
