NAHB Monthly Update Helps Members Shape Housing Messages
NAHB members often serve as ambassadors for the residential construction industry. From city council meetings to media interviews, members explain complex housing issues and barriers to housing affordability. To help members articulate key housing priorities, NAHB’s Monthly Update provides the latest messaging framework for the Federation.
NAHB refreshes the content at the beginning of each month. Regular features of the update include:
- A brief summary of the top housing news, advocacy wins or Federation priorities;
- An economic snapshot of home sales, home prices, economic indices and a high-level forecast from NAHB Chief Economist Dr. Rob Dietz; and
- Talking points in a bulleted format on issues ranging from housing-related legislation to proposed regulatory policies.
The Monthly Update is accessible to members, executive officers and HBA staff signed into nahb.org. In addition to the talking points, members can access the Senior Officers’ home builders’ association travel schedule for the month.
For questions about the update or other HBA resources, contact Anna Briseño.
