Lieutenant Governors Call on Washington to fix housing
The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) commends the National Lieutenant Governors Association (NLGA) for approving a resolution recently that underscores the importance of homeownership, and calls on Washington policymakers to take action to shore up the nation's housing markets to achieve a long-lasting economic recovery.
"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, a home builder from Gainesville, Fla. "Resolution sponsors Brian Krolicki (R-Nev.) and Timothy Murray (D-Mass.) have taken a leadership role in working to keep housing atop the national agenda."
