The National Housing Supply Summit, taking place on March 19, 2025, at the National Housing Center, in Washington, D.C., will be an exchange of ideas between industry leaders and policymakers about how to increase the production of new homes in the U.S., with a specific emphasis on the actions that the federal government can take to remove barriers and create incentives.
Hear from home builders and developers about the effects that the complex interplay of local, state, and federal regulations has on housing production; from policymakers at the local, state, and federal levels about successful efforts to increase housing supply; from experts deploying innovation in the field connected to automated processes, new materials, and labor models; and from experts addressing the capital challenges being driven by insurance costs, inflation, and project finance structures.
In preparation for the event, we've assembled recent articles published in Pro Builder magazine and on probuilder.com that provide insight into the specific topics on the Summit agenda.
