Are you interested in how states and localities approach housing policy priorities such as zoning, rent control, taxes, impact fees and codes? All NAHB members, executive officers and home builders association staff have the opportunity to stay up to date with state and local advocacy news via a new NAHB newsletter.

The State Affairs is a new quarterly newsletter created to keep members of the Federation informed of key local housing issues. The newsletter will showcase how HBAs and members work to defeat excessive regulations and improve housing affordability in their communities.

Subscribers can also learn about the latest state and local resources from NAHB, upcoming events, and hot-button housing issues unfolding in statehouses nationwide. Any member or association leader involved in shaping housing policies, meeting with lawmakers, or engaging in advocacy outreach should subscribe.

The State Affairs inaugural issue will arrive in inboxes this month. To subscribe, please complete the newsletter subscription form available on nahb.org. (Must be logged in to subscribe.)
