As the NAHREP Homeownership and Housing Policy Conference gets closer, we want to take a moment to remind you why this event matters, and why, if you’re in construction, you really need to be there with us.
Here’s the deal: NHCA was built through a direct alliance with NAHREP, the nation’s largest Latino business association. Our whole purpose is to connect the real estate and construction worlds, and this conference is where that connection comes alive.
This isn’t just another industry event. The NAHREP Homeownership & Housing Policy Conference (March 23-25) brings together the people who actually shape the future of housing—government officials, top executives, policymakers, and industry leaders. Three days of real conversations, real education, and real networking that can move the needle for your business and our community.
And here’s why it hits close to home for us in construction: the decisions made in Washington directly affect how much building gets funded and contracted. Housing policy is construction policy. Full stop.
The numbers make the case loud and clear. Our upcoming NHCA State of Hispanics in Construction Report 2026 paints a picture of an industry where Latino and Hispanic workers make up over 31% of the U.S. construction workforce and have driven nearly 67% of its growth in recent years, yet only about 15% hold engineering, management, or supervisory roles. That gap doesn’t close on its own. It takes showing up where policy gets made. Hear the key findings firsthand at our dedicated session on March 23rd at 11 AM.
Bottom line: this is the most important moment of the year for our community to align, advocate, and move forward together. If you haven’t registered yet, now’s the time.
Change is our responsibility. Let’s show up for it.
