Housing Affordability Crisis Policy Priorities

Written by

NAHB recently submitted a detailed housing policy paper to the transition team to tackle the housing affordability crisis. Acting on these housing policy priorities will help remove barriers that hinder the construction of new homes and apartments and allow builders to build more attainable, affordable housing.

The policy recommendations in the document outline practical solutions to key issues affecting the housing industry that are acting as headwinds to increase the nation’s housing supply, including the need to:

  • Extend and improve the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to spur new housing supply;
  • Fix material supply chains and lower construction costs;
  • Address the labor shortage; and
  • Reform the rulemaking process and eliminate excessive regulations.
