Government Affairs

The Government Affairs Team of the Home Builders Association of Metropolitan Portland consists of three experienced staff who represent HBA's members before the 37 local governments and boards under its jurisdiction. The staff monitors, testifies, and reports on subjects including service development charges (SDC's), fee increases, code changes and local elections. The hottest issues are reported on regularly in the Around the Region section of the Home Building News and posted online.

Members who serve on the Government Affairs and Legal Action Committee and Political Action Steering Committee provide staff with important directions and input when representing the association and its members. Our government affairs efforts are also guided by the HBA's Strategic Plan and Goals set by the board of directors.
