LETTER FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENTAt the Oregon Home Builders Association, our mission is to advocate for the home building industry and promote policies that ensure housing is accessible, sustainable, and affordable for all Oregonians. We provide critical resources, education, and support to our members—builders, remodelers, and industry professionals—who are at the forefront of creating safe, vibrant communities across the state. Our work is essential because housing is more than just a structure; it’s the foundation of strong families, thriving economies, and a better quality of life. By addressing challenges like regulatory barriers, lack of land supply, rising construction costs, and workforce development, we help our members succeed while ensuring that homeownership remains within reach for Oregon’s families. Together, we’re building a brighter future—one home, one community, and one policy at a time. Thank you for being a part of this vital mission. -Mike Riddle |

Advocacy
Advocacy is at the heart of OHBA’s mission. Our efforts are championed by a dedicated team of lobbyists and our Government Affairs Committee, who work year-round to influence legislation and regulatory decisions that impact the housing industry. From Salem to local government offices, we amplify the voices of builders, ensuring policymakers understand the importance of pro-housing policies and business-friendly regulations. Through our advocacy, we help shape Oregon’s housing future and safeguard the interests of our members.
