NAHB is Bringing Housing Home May 3-7

NAHB is Bringing Housing Home® May 3-7 and this is your chance to make a house call on your member of Congress. The week-long Legislative Conference will give individual members and HBA delegations the opportunity to advocate for housing's legislative priorities at in-district meetings with their members of Congress. The issues that are important to your business and our industry are the same issues that are critical to a vibrant, dynamic economy. During NAHB's 2021 Legislative Conference, we are asking members of Congress to move forward on several key issues, including:

• Working with the Biden administration and industry stakeholders to seek immediate remedies that will ease high lumber prices and supply constraints and increase production;
• Reforming the nation's housing finance system to ensure that single-family and multifamily housing credit remains readily available and affordable;
• Strengthening the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit;
• Preventing federal intrusion into the energy codes development process;
• Creating a national flood insurance program that is predictable and affordable; and
• Crafting a transportation and infrastructure package that takes housing affordability concerns into account.
