Since January of last year, rising lumber prices have increased the price of an average single-family home by $6,388.
Much of these unprecedented price hikes are due to tariffs averaging more than 20 percent on Canadian softwood lumber shipments into the U.S.
The tariffs are acting as a tax on American home builders and home buyers, making housing less affordable for American families.

Calls to action like this to advocate on behalf of residential construction, and engagement from our members for our federation, help keep our industry strong. We hope that you will join us in urging our elected officials to keep home ownership affordable for Americans.
