Builder Membership
The mission of the HBA is to provide and protect the American dream of homeownership for current and future generations – we engage in activities, events, and educational programs for the benefit of members and consumers alike. We are also involved in the state and local legislative and regulatory processes, advocating for public policy initiatives and sustainable building techniques that balance the need for strong economic growth and environmental protection. The HBA stands with our federation partners, the Pennsylvania Builders Association (PBA) and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), in pursuit of its mission.
