Vote for Housing on Nov. 5
From local zoning regulations to federal tax policy, elected officials at all levels shape the landscape for the residential construction industry and small businesses. As leaders of the residential construction industry, NAHB is encouraging all members to take part in the election process this year by voting before or on election day, Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024.
