The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) is a Washington, D.C.-based trade association whose mission is to enhance the climate for housing and the building industry. Chief among NAHB?s goals is providing and expanding opportunities for all consumers to have safe, decent and affordable housing. As ?the voice of America?s housing industry,? NAHB helps promote policies that will keep housing a national priority.
Founded in 1942, NAHB is a federation of more than 800 state and local associations. About one-third of NAHB?s 225,000 members are home builders and/or remodelers. The remaining members are associates working in closely related fields within the housing industry, such as mortgage finance and building products and services.
NAHB?s builder members will construct about 80 percent of the more than 1.9 million new housing units projected for 2006, making housing one of the largest engines of economic growth in the country.
NAHB?s Annual Convention and Exposition, known as the International Builders? Show, is one of the largest building projects showcases in the country, attracting more than 100,000 attendees each year. The 2007 show will be held at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL, Feb. 7-10.
NAHB?s affiliates include the NAHB Research Center, which develops, tests and evaluates new materials, methods, standards and equipment to improve the technology and the affordability of America?s housing; and the Home Builders Institute, NAHB?s workforce development arm, which develops and administers a wide range of educational and job training programs.
