Revive Housing Campaign  

 Last month NAHB launched "Revive Housing, Restore America," an effort to urge Congress to stimulate housing and the nation's economy. It is estimated that extending and expanding the tax credit would help drive economic recovery by spurring 383,000 additional home sales and creating nearly 350,000 jobs.  

Public Affairs has been coordinating an ongoing series of local media teleconferences around the country aimed at increasing public awareness of the need for Congress to move quickly to address housing.    

This week, NAHB began running a full-page advertisement in publications such as The Hill, Roll Call, Politico, CQ Weekly and National Journal. The ad is a joint effort with the Mortgage Bankers Association and the National Association of Realtors and features the message, "Congress: Don't Let America's Real Estate Recovery Expire."  

Learn how you can participate in this crucial effort and help revive housing.
