Watch Livestream of NAHB Chairman Alicia Huey's Testimony on WOTUS
Update: Access a recording of the hearing in the link below.
NAHB Chairman Alicia Huey will testify Feb. 8 before the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee's Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment about the impact of the Biden administration’s final ‘waters of the United States’ (WOTUS) rule on home building.
With the nation in the midst of a housing affordability crisis and an economy confronting high inflation, NAHB has repeatedly called upon the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers to release a rule that provides much-needed clarity and certainty for home builders and other affected stakeholders. The final rule, released in December 2022, falls short of these goals.
Watch a livestream of the hearing beginning at 10 a.m. ET on Feb. 8.
