Video: Why Homes are Essential
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected our day-to-day lives in numerous ways — physically, socially and emotionally. Homes have been central fixtures throughout the crisis, and will continue to be as communities move forward in the months ahead.
To showcase the value of home building within communities as we rebuild from this pandemic, NAHB has created a public service announcement video for members and HBAs to use on their websites.
