Housing stimulus legislation has passed in the House and is moving toward final Senate action.  The two chambers must reconcile their proposed policy solutions and move quickly to pass legislation before the Fourth of July recess.  Each chamber has offered proposals that would aid ailing homeowners and provide incentives for potential homebuyers, yet a final bill has yet to materialize.  To help move housing stimulus legislation across the finish line, Congress needs to hear something critically important ... real stories from the men and women in the home building industry.

Please take a moment to call your senators and congressmen and tell them of the experiences you, your family, neighbors and friends have faced as a result of the downturn in the housing industry.  Tell them about the record number of foreclosures, sluggish sales, and depressed home prices.  Tell them about lost home equity and the impact it’s having on consumer confidence and the overall economy.  Let them know about the tough decisions you’ve had to make as an employer, like laying off loyal workers or family members, to keep your business afloat.  Let your personal story inspire Congress to act.

Please take a moment to call the NAHB Legislative Hotline, at 1-866-924-NAHB (6242), and get connected, free-of-charge, to Capitol Hill.

When you call the NAHB Legislative Hotline, you will hear a brief message.
You will be asked to enter your zip code, and then you will be connected to your lawmaker's office.  Important: Please stay on the line between calls as the system works to patch you through to each of your senators' and representative's offices.
Tell them who you are, where you are calling from and your connection to the housing industry (legislative offices want to know they are talking to constituents). 
Inform them that you are calling on behalf of the National Association of Home Builders.
Tell them how you’ve been impacted by the downturn in the housing economy and ask them to move quickly to pass housing stimulus legislation before the Fourth of July holiday.
