Your Industry. Your Voice. Your HBA.

Some of the most valuable work your HBA does happens behind the scenes—bringing members’ concerns forward and advocating for policies that support the building industry.

Through our local and state efforts and our connection to the National Association of Home Builders, we help strengthen the voice for:

✅ Fewer barriers to building homes
✅ Skilled trades education and workforce development
✅ Relief from rising building material costs
✅ Practical zoning, permitting and regulations
✅ More attainable housing for our communities

Your membership helps make this work possible. Together, we can bring the challenges you face on the jobsite into the conversations where decisions are made.

What issues are affecting your business? Reach out to the HBA—we want to hear from you!

Great day at the Arkansas Home Builders Association State Meeting in Russellville! A big thank you to our lobbyist, Lucas Hargraves, and Amanda Story for providing legislative updates and keeping us informed on the issues that impact the residential construction industry. We also appreciate Lindsay Moore, Director of Code Enforcement with the Arkansas Department of Labor and Licensing, for sharing valuable information on building codes and current code-related issues.

One of the greatest benefits of being a member of the Home Builders Association is having strong advocates and industry experts working on our behalf. From protecting our industry at the Capitol to keeping builders informed on code changes, the HBA is committed to helping our members succeed.

Thank you to everyone who attended and to the Arkansas HBA for continuing to keep us informed, connected, and engaged. Together, we are building a stronger industry across Arkansas!
