Greater Houston Builders Association (Ghba)

The mission of the Greater Houston Builders Association is to provide advocacy, education and meaningful services to benefit its members and the housing industry. Chartered in 1941, the Greater Houston Builders Association is a trade organization whose members are involved in the development, homebuilding, and remodeling industry in seven counties. The association interacts with the government, community and general public to enhance the business climate for its members, and to provide quality obtainable housing to the community it serves. The association is also active in community outreach and charitable events. The Houston region continues to lead the nation in new housing starts. Although starts are down from the all time highs of a few years ago, values have held and we are positioned to bounce back more quickly with affordable, quality homes than any other major metropolitan area. The third largest association in the country, GHBA’s 1,600+ member companies represent more than 60,000 full time jobs. The local homebuilding industry generates about $3 billion in wages, taxes, fees, and other revenue to the local economy.
