Bill Owens, chairman of the National Association of Home Builders and a home builder and remodeler from Worthington, Ohio, said on July 11 that the organization welcomes the enactment of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act into law.
“NAHB applauds Congress and the Trump administration for delivering a bipartisan housing victory for the American people. Strong support in both chambers makes clear that housing affordability is a national priority. By reducing regulatory barriers, helping builders increase supply, and expanding opportunities for homeownership and rental housing, this landmark law is an important step toward easing the nation’s housing affordability crisis. We look forward to working with the administration and Congress to implement it,” Owens said.
The new law aims to address issues related to housing affordability by reducing regulatory barriers, increasing supply through builder support, and expanding access to both homeownership and rental options.
The National Association of Home Builders focuses on supporting professionals in residential construction through advocacy, education, networking opportunities, and resources for its members nationwide, and functions as a trade association in this sector, according to the official website.
Owens said NAHB will continue collaborating with federal officials as implementation moves forward.
