At least one of the 17 Committee members is also a current member of the HBA's Board of Directors, which provides a liaison between the Committee and the Board.

The President appoints the Committee Chair.

2022 HBA Advocacy Impact by the Numbers
[May 2022} New Local Economic Impact Reports on the home building industry in the Denver Metropolitan Area now available
Home building generates substantial local economic activity, including new income and jobs for residents, and additional revenue for local governments. The National Association of Home Builders, in partnership with the HBA of Metro Denver has developed two reports that provide estimates of these economic benefits to local governments and the regional economy here in the Denver metropolitan area.
The reports capture the effect of the construction industry itself, the ripple effect that occurs when income earned from construction activity is spent and is recycled within the local economy, and the ongoing impact that results from new homes becoming occupied by residents who pay taxes and buy locally produced goods and services.

The construction industry — including homebuilding, commercial development, and roads and transportation — employs more than 180,000 workers in our state. Keeping these Coloradans safely on the job helped their families and local communities through these tough economic times. Read the article on ColoradoPolitics.com
