  Apply for the State & Local Issues Fund - Online Application
The State & Local Issues Fund is a grant program administered by the State & Local Government Affairs Committee which is intended for state and local HBA affiliates across the country.  The purpose of the Issues Fund is to provide support to HBAs in order to successfully deal with a legislative, regulatory or ballot issue that has national significance (i.e. national implications beyond the HBA’s jurisdiction) or is a common industry problem whose resolution could be precedent setting and might not succeed without financial support from NAHB.  The Committee accepts applications to the fund at every NAHB Board meeting, and doles out grants to HBA’s in increments of up to $25,000 per award.

The application form and guidelines for financial assistance from NAHB’s State & Local Issues Fund can now be founde online at http://www.nahb.org/fileUpload_details.aspx?ContentID=13360

All applications must come from a local or state builders association and not from an individual member.  No application for campaign contributions to individual candidates will be considered by the State & Local Government Affairs Committee.

The deadline for Spring applications is April 3, 2008. For more information, contact Alex Strong or Beth Ambrose at NAHB State & Local Government Affairs. [ return to top ]
