NAHB wants action for USMCA trade agreement

According to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), the United States-Mexico-Canada-Agreement (USMCA) holds the potential to boost the housing economy and reduce price volatility for building materials.

The NAHB says it “needs” members to do their part by and sending a letter urging members of Congress to ratify the USMCA.

“Each year, the U.S. residential construction and remodeling industries rely on tens of billions of dollars in building materials sourced from Mexico and Canada. These materials are not simply the constituent parts of a home, they also represent jobs for Americans building those homes,” the NAHB said.

The association has made the process easy by setting up a page where NAHB members can directly tell members of Congress to act on the USMCA.

“Trade policy affects housing costs. Take action now and ask your member of Congress to ratify the USMCA,” the NAHB has told members.
