What’s Next for Housing? NAHB to Host Post-Election Webinar

Advocacy
Published

For the past year, NAHB has laid the groundwork to make housing a top priority at the local, state and national levels, including a 10-point plan for housing affordability and testimonies on Capitol Hill. As a result, housing issues have been a key part of the 2024 campaign season. 

Once the dust has settled from this election, NAHB and our Federation stand poised to work with a new Congress and administration, as well as elected officials at all levels of government, to deliver bipartisan solutions that break the rising cost curve and allow builders to construct more homes and apartments.

To help inform our members on key updates from this election cycle, NAHB will host a webinar, “What’s Next for Housing: 2024 Post-Election Analysis,” on Wednesday, Nov. 13, at 12 p.m. ET. Staff experts from NAHB’s advocacy team will discuss election outcomes at all levels, and how they impact policy going forward.

Speakers:

  • Ken Wingert, Chief Advocacy Officer
  • Lake Coulson, Chief Lobbyist
  • Scott Meyer, VP of Government Affairs
  • Karl Eckhart, VP of State and Local Government Affairs
