Help Us Fight for You!


No matter what government hurdle our industry faces there are only two tools to succeed: persuasion and power. HOME-PAC gives us political power. We need to speak as one industry with one voice.

It is through voluntary contributions that HOME-PAC can help preserve a positive political climate for the residential construction and development industry in Texas. For as little as $250/year you can help support industry-friendly candidates for local office as a Sustaining Member. As an added benefit, HOME-PAC Trustees and Sustaining Members are invited to join their elected officials at special events throughout the year at no additional cost. These events provide an exclusive opportunity to meet face to face with the decision-makers in the greater Houston area.

Without HOME-PAC’s participation, decisions affecting the future of the residential building industry will be influenced by other industries and groups, many of whom represent interests directly opposed to our own. It’s only through the voluntary contributions of our members that HOME-PAC can help preserve a positive political climate for the home building and development industry in Houston.

In 2023, HOME-PAC:

  • Raised over $330,000, dedicated to supporting pro-housing candidates.
  • Endorsed candidates during City of Houston local elections, contributing to the victorious campaigns of Mayor Whitmire and multiple City Council members.
  • Attended over 100 fundraisers and actively assisting GHBA members in hosting events for elected officials and candidates.
  • Contributed over $300,000 to various candidates across the electoral spectrum, reinforcing support from the ground up.

How Does HOME-PAC Work?

HOME-PAC, is governed by a Board of Trustees made up of Greater Houston Builders Association members who contribute $1,000 or more annually. These trustees determine which political candidates will receive support based on the following criteria:

  • The candidate’s voting record on issues important to the home building industry
  • The candidate’s membership on key committees that consider legislation important to home builders
  • The candidate’s leadership position
  • The candidate’s understanding of the issues facing home builders and readiness to assist in advocating or defeating legislation and regulation important to our industry
