The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) will join the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to co-host the department’s inaugural Innovative Housing Showcase. Held on the National Mall June 1-5, 2019, the Innovative Housing Showcase will educate policy makers and the broader public on the new housing innovations and building technologies that are helping address the affordable housing challenges across the country.
“We’re thrilled to have the National Association of Home Builders co-host this Showcase,” said HUD Secretary Ben Carson. “It’s important we highlight these new building technologies that are answering the call for more affordable, durable housing options for families across America.”
The Showcase will highlight various solutions that could make housing more affordable for American families and more resilient during natural disasters.
“The housing affordability crisis is affecting both builders and consumers nationwide,” said Greg Ugalde, chairman of the NAHB. “We are honored to be co-hosting this event with HUD as we work together to find solutions to this growing problem.”
