NAHB advocates for its members year-round on various issues that will affect residential construction.

And now, members can hear directly from NAHB’s advocacy leaders on key issues the Federation is working towards on Capitol Hill via short-form videos that are downloadable on NAHB’s website.

Among recent wins, NAHB played a major role in restoring $1.76 billion in Job Corps funding despite Congress’ threat to eliminate the program entirely. Chief Lobbyist Lake Coulson detailed how funding was secured, and what’s next.


Last month, the house approved NAHB-supported legislation that includes several amendments to the Clean Water Act permitting process. Evan Loukadakis, federal legislative manager, gave an update on three key changes the bill would provide.


JP Delmore, assistant vice president of government affairs, explained the three provisions in The American Families and Workers Act that may help your business. The bill is currently pending before Congress.
