In preparation for the 2023 Legislative Conference on June 7 in Washington, D.C., NAHB members are encouraged to attend a live webinar on Wednesday, May 10, at 11 a.m. ET to learn more about the key issues to discuss with their legislators.

The Issues Briefing Webinar will feature NAHB policy experts who will provide members with the most impactful and timely information on the housing industry’s challenges. These high-priority topics will include strategies to address:

  • The shortage of distribution transformers aggravating the nation’s housing affordability crisis;
  • Making the right choice on energy codes; and
  • Investing in workforce development programs to help the industry build the pipeline of new workers needed to meet the demand for new housing.

In addition to the webinar, the NAHB Government Affairs team has compiled various resources on nahb.org for members to help ensure their Legislative Conference meetings are a success. These tools include U.S. Senate and House directories, lobbying tips and template meeting invitations. Plus, issue videos to help prepare meeting talking points will be available in the coming weeks.

Registration is required to attend the briefing. A recording of the webinar will be available on nahb.org.

New and Existing Homes Remain Largely Unaffordable in Second Quarter

While new homes remain largely unaffordable, builder efforts to improve housing affordability paid dividends in the second quarter of 2025, according to the latest data from the NAHB/Wells Fargo Cost of Housing Index (CHI). The CHI results from the second quarter of 2025 show that a family earning the nation’s median income of $104,200 needed 36% of its income to cover the mortgage payment on a median-priced new home. Low-income families, defined as those earning only 50% of median income, would have to spend 71% of their earnings to pay for the same new home.
