NAHB’s Latest Advocacy Wins, and What’s Next
NAHB advocates for its members year-round on various issues that will affect residential construction.

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.

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.
