On June 10, 2026, more than 1,100 builders, remodelers and other housing industry professionals went to Capitol Hill to call for congressional action. Attendees urged Congress to improve affordability and help builders to increase the production of affordable, attainable homes. In more than 300 meetings with lawmakers, housing advocates focused on the following priorities aimed at improving affordability and increasing supply: landmark housing legislation, workforce development and immigration and permitting obstacles.
“Members of the housing community from across the country are in Washington for the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) 2026 Legislative Conference to call on lawmakers to advance major housing legislation and enact policies that will let builders build,” said NAHB Chairman Bill Owens, a home builder and remodeler from Worthington, Ohio.
