NCSHA Comments on HUD Build America, Buy America RFI
NCSHA submitted this comment letter to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in response to its Request for Information on the availability of domestically manufactured products used in HUD-funded housing programs under the Build America, Buy America Act (BABA). While supporting HUD’s effort to better understand domestic manufacturing capacity, NCSHA urged the department to pursue a broader overhaul of BABA implementation, arguing that the current process is unnecessarily burdensome, increases project costs, and delays the development of affordable housing, and offered a proposal for implementing BABA in a manner that works for housers and manufacturers.
