The race to Let America Build

America needs more houses

If we don’t build the future, we’ll lose it

We need more houses, about 4 million of them, but we can’t build them without making real policy changes on the local level. That’s where you come in.

A red flatbed truck carries a life-size wireframe house through a city street. The banner on its side reads: if we don’t win, this house will never get built.

What America needs is clear:

More houses

America faces a housing supply gap of 4.03 million homes, made worse by regulatory costs that add more than 26% to the price of a new home, according to NAHB. Zillow research found that building on the nation's 300,000+ vacant small lots could close 6.3% of that gap.

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act cleared the path.
Now let’s get to work.

An industry united

We’ve come together as colleagues and competitors from across our industry to give everyone the tools they need to affect real housing change where they live.
