Spring Tour Success Marches on to Parade

What a whirlwind! Thank you to all of our members (and staff) who worked tirelessly to make this year's Spring Tour a success. Despite multiple shifts given these trying times, you all were able to be agile and innovative, and deliver a Spring Tour to remember to all of those who attended, both in person and via our Facebook Live and virtual touring!

With Spring Tour 2020 under our belt, we now turn our focus to summer - kicking it off with the summer BBQ - make sure you sign up - and ultimately it's close with the 75th Annual Parade of Homes.

Advocacy
Speaking up and out on behalf of the home construction industry.
Keep the Construction Industry Moving Forward
Congress is discussing bipartisan legislation to ensure that the trade associations which serve our industry are eligible for Paycheck Protection Program loans so they can continue to  provide critical resources and support to YOU  – the small businesses and home building firms that are on the front lines working to provide sorely needed housing for Americans during this critical time.

Reach out today and ask your member of Congress to support legislation that would allow 501(c)(6) organizations like HBAs to be eligible for PPP loans.
