NAHB Likes Lieutenant Governors' Resolution

Washington, DC, July 23, 2012 -- The National Association of Home Builders  has praised the National Lieutenant Governors Association for approving a resolution that urges Washington policymakers to take action to shore up the nation's housing markets.

"The nation's lieutenant governors understand that Americans deeply value homeownership and that it is essential to get the housing sector back on firm ground to achieve solid job growth, build healthy communities and move our economy forward," said NAHB chairman Barry Rutenberg.

The resolution recommends that "the President and Congress act with a sense of urgency to address the nation's housing crisis in a meaningful and responsible manner, while avoiding any legislation or regulatory actions that will inhibit the recovery of the home building industry."
