NAHB Commends Senate Banking Panel for Advancing Housing Legislation

Buddy Hughes, chairman of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and a home builder and developer from Lexington, N.C., issued the following statement after the Senate Banking Committee voted to approve the ROAD to Housing Act:

“NAHB applauds the Senate Banking Committee for passing a bipartisan housing package to fix the housing crisis by addressing our nation’s critical lack of housing supply. Building more homes is the only way to ease America’s housing affordability crisis and the ROAD to Housing Act includes favorable provisions aimed at zoning and land-use policies, rural housing and multifamily housing that will stimulate construction of sorely needed housing. We look forward to working with Congress and President Trump to enact a bicameral, bipartisan housing package that addresses supply-side and regulatory issues that are acting as barriers to build more homes.”
