Home Builders Association of Michigan

Advocacy

At the Home Builders Association of Michigan, advocacy is at the heart of what we do. We work tirelessly to protect and advance the residential construction industry, ensuring that our members can build and develop communities across the state. From tackling regulatory hurdles to shaping policy at the local and state level, we are committed to being the voice of Michigan’s home builders. Explore the resources below to see how we’re fighting for you and how you can get involved.

Builder Issue Reporting

We are asking builders and developers to report any unusual issues or delays they encounter with municipalities during the building process. Your feedback will help us address these challenges and advocate for improvements. Click on your local HBA below to fill out a form. Once submitted, ONLY your local HBA Executive Officer, Ariana Dawes, Bob Filka, and Dawn Crandall will have access to your form. A member of the aforementioned team will review the form and contact you with follow-up questions and suggestions for next steps.

local advocacy pilot program

This year, the HBA of Michigan launched the Local Advocacy Pilot Program to address the challenges local regulations create for home building and housing attainability. Currently available to members of the HBA of Greater Lansing and the HBA of Northwest Michigan, this pilot program provides a proactive platform to influence local housing policy and drive meaningful change. By participating, you’ll be at the forefront of shaping housing policy in your region while helping to develop a model for local advocacy efforts across Michigan.

If you're a member of the HBA of Greater Lansing or the HBA of Northwest Michigan and want to get involved, contact Ariana Dawes to join the team and help shape the future of housing advocacy in your community.
