Bringing Housing Home®

In-District Meetings

May 3-7, 2021

NAHB’s Bringing Housing Home® is an opportunity for members to conduct in-district meetings with their U.S. representatives and senators. These meetings are key to strengthening relationships with lawmakers and to keep the housing industry as a priority in Congress. Please choose the meeting style that suits your local association and follow COVID-19 guidelines and protocols.

HBA executive officers are encouraged to schedule meetings with their representatives during the week of May 3. If you are not able to schedule a visit during the official Bringing Housing Home® week, you can schedule meetings when your members are home during congressional recesses. Access the House and Senate calendars to see the dates of their in-district work weeks.

NAHB staff can help facilitate meetings, as well. For more information, contact Lauren Goodwin.

Schedule In-District Meetings

Invite your representatives to meet by contacting their district office. You can find their district contact information by visiting house.gov and senate.gov and searching for your elected officials. Then you can use this letter template to schedule your meetings.

Prior to your meetings, NAHB will provide an NAHB Legislative Priorities brochure to learn help you learn about the key issues to discuss at your meetings. When the brochure is available, you can print copies and bring them to your meetings. This is a low-resolution version for printing in your office. Please contact NAHB if you would like a high-resolution version for professional printing. In the meantime, you can learn more about NAHB’s key priorities with our Welcome to Congress brochure and review NAHB’s Lobbying Tips.

Let your NAHB Government Affairs contact person know once you have your meetings scheduled. You can also request a member of NAHB’s Government Affairs team to attend your meeting. Please contact NAHB with any questions.
