NAHB Congratulates President-Elect Donald Trump

Carl Harris, chairman of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and a custom home builder from Wichita, Kan., issued the following statement on Tuesday's national elections:

"The National Association of Home Builders congratulates President-elect Donald Trump on his election as the 47th president of the United States and all the candidates who were elected to the 119th Congress. Throughout the campaign, voters consistently pointed to the lack of housing availability and affordability as a key issue in their voting decisions. Now is the time to take action to address the nation's housing shortage and let builders build. NAHB looks forward to working with the incoming Trump administration and leaders in Congress from both parties to enact a pro-housing legislative and regulatory agenda that increases the nation's housing supply and eases the nation's affordability woes."
