Thanks to the Federation for Bringing Housing Home
From coast to coast, members of our Federation stepped up last week to bring housing issues to the forefront during Bringing Housing Home® , NAHB's 2021 in-district Legislative Conference.
Although this year's conference may have looked a little different — with members setting up meetings virtually as well as in person — NAHB appreciates all efforts to deliver our legislative agenda and highlight key issues of importance in your local communities.
Members held more than 140 meetings with their U.S. senators and representatives to build working relationships with their federal legislators and brief them on several issues affecting the home building community — chief among them the lumber price crisis and its impact on home building and housing affordability.
Additional issues of note included:
- Reforming the nation's housing finance system
- 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
- Crafting an infrastructure package that takes housing affordability concerns into account
- Investing in federal vocational job training programs
