On the latest episode of NAHB’s Housing Developments podcast, CEO Jerry Howard and Chief Lobbyist Jim Tobin welcome retired Navy Admiral and Founder of SAFE Project, Admiral Sandy Winnefeld, to the show to talk about his passion to educate the residential construction industry on the dangers of opioids.
