Build-PAC

Through these efforts we are able to identify those politicians who are willing to listen to our issues and consider our point of view. This is where BUILD-PAC becomes invaluable.

The HBA BUILD-PAC (political action campaign) represents the recognition by our members that those elected into office are critical to the housing and development industry. Through generous contributions we are able to fund the best qualified and most worthy candidates for local office.

Because BUILD-PAC is bipartisan it affords us political clout in the election process. If you would like to support your industry, the most effective thing you can do is give a contribution to BUILD-PAC.
