Public Policy

The Home Builders Association of Greenville monitors key legislative issues affecting the local home building industry under the guidance of a full-time Director of Government Affairs and the leadership of the HBA Legislative Committee. Your local HBA also stays abreast of state and federal legislation through its affiliations with the Home Builders Association of South Carolina and the National Association of Home Builders, with several of our members serving on legislative and political committees at the state and national level.

The HBA of Greenville understands that day-to-day involvement in public policy best represents its members and the local homebuilding industry, at large. Through the HBA of Greenville's Government Affairs program, we work on your behalf to influence public policy decisions. Specifically, we work to limit the impact of government regulation on our industry to protect our membership from overregulation and limit the impact of regulation on the cost of housing.

Additionally, the Home Builders Association of Greenville hosts a Legislative Rally each year that gives its members the opportunity to interact directly with local and state elected officials.
