From the Executive Director's Desk
Now more than ever before, it's important to come together to make an impact on the future.
We encourage you to use:
Your voice - sign up for BuilderLink and make it known that you're unhappy with the current lumber prices
Your vote - by participating in the upcoming elections, be that at the poll or via absentee ballot
Your dollar - by supporting political action committees and public officials that are pro-housing
Let us build together for a better tomorrow.

Share Your Story
Lumber prices increased 14.9% in August, marking the largest four-month gain since such data was first recorded in 1949 and the second-largest gain since seasonally adjusted data became available in 1975. Such a sharp increase has put unnecessary pressure on homeowners and builders alike to figure out how to close the gap. Share your stories of how you've been impacted.
