ADVOCACY
We Are Your Advocates
The home building industry is among the most regulated industries in the country. One of the primary goals of the HBA is to be at the forefront of breaking news in legislation, code changes and other areas that can affect our industry and our members. If it affects housing, it affects all of us. We are there to advocate for what is best for our industry and homeowners.
To learn more about the current issues that the HBA’s Government Affairs staff is tracking, or if you have ideas to keep the home building industry free from unnecessary regulation and fees please contact Marla Novak, Vice President of Government Affairs.

Economic Impact
The impact of home construction on the local economy and economic contributions is measured through jobs, associated payroll and economic output. Each year the industry builds new homes to accommodate our growing population and the year-over-year recurring effect magnifies the overall economic impact. In order to help consumers understand the real cost and impact of new home construction in El Paso County, the HBA has published a brochure using data-driven information from NAHB and Summit Economics.
