To help members articulate key housing priorities, NAHB's Monthly Update provides the latest messaging framework for the Federation. Some highlights for this month include issue updates and talking points related to:

  • Important victories related to workforce development with legislation introduced to increase job training and a Senate appropriations panel approval of funding for Job Corps;
  • Provisions in the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) which offer more flexibility and a wider range of options for builders to achieve compliance; and
  • An analysis of mortgage rates, inflation and single-family construction forecasts from NAHB Chief Economist Dr. Robert Dietz.

The monthly update is accessible to members, executive officers and HBA staff signed up for nahb.org. In addition to the talking points, members can access the Senior Officers' Home Builders Association travel schedule for the next six months. Access the Monthly Update.
