 How the 2016 Elections Might Affect Housing

One of the most divisive election campaigns in American history is over. The Republicans, now led by President-elect Donald J. Trump, control the White House and both chambers of Congress.

Despite their election-day success, Republicans still must work with the Democratic minority to advance their legislative agenda. For NAHB, this presents a great opportunity. NAHB has a tradition of working with both sides of the political aisle in support of housing issues that affect the livelihood of its members and millions of households across the country.

Read NAHB’s analysis for a closer look at how the results will affect the housing industry.

Don't Miss The 2017 Builders' Show

With more than 1,400 suppliers, the Builders' Show is the place to see the latest and most innovative products and services for the residential construction industry. The Builders' Show also offers more than 130 education sessions to help you build better homes and build a better business, as well as business-building networking events.

NAHB Resources on EPA's Lead Rule

When it comes to the Environmental Protection Agency’s Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule, there’s a big difference between remodelers who can only say they’re compliant and those who can prove that they’re compliant.

That difference can equal tens of thousands of dollars in fines. Audits are typically performed without much prior notice. It’s important to know what to expect during an inspection.

That’s why NAHB Remodelers has an extensive library of resources to help industry pros become better acquainted with the RRP rule. Go to nahb.org/leadpaint to find videos, FAQs and guides about certification, compliance and client education.

Fall Board Meeting A Showcase

Our recent year end meeting demonstrated the wide breadth of OHBA services provided to the membership.  EO’s and members shared many ideas and programs which will enhance the membership experience as well as add to the rolls of members.  Our government affairs meeting, as usual, laid out for all to see and understand the many items related to government which is important for all to know.  We also discussed continued success of past OHBA actions which have been upheld in the courts.  Builders were also brought up to date on the latest building code revisions as well as possible challenges to come.  Knowledge is power and those who attended are now empowered.

At this meeting we elected future leaders as well as gave due recognition to those who served this year.  President Bill Sanderson was duly recognized along with his team for success in 2016.

We were honored to have NAHB chair Ed Brady as our guest.  Ed shared much of the knowledge of NAHB and where the national association plans to be with the newly elected Trump administration.

And last, OHBA unveiled the new BEST OF OHIO PROGRAM showcasing outstanding building endeavors throughout Ohio this year.  With more than 50 submissions the program was a great success which is sure to grow in the future.
