The Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association (HBA) is
a not-for-profit professional trade association dedicated to promoting,
protecting and preserving the homebuilding industry as a viable
economic force in the Atlanta area.
The HBA was founded in 1945
by a group of builders looking for an organization to serve their
interests and needs within the homebuilding industry. In 1989, the
association changed its name from the Home Builders Association of
Metropolitan Atlanta to the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association.
The new name reflected the association’s increasing membership and
changing climate of the local homebuilding industry.
Today, the
HBA is comprised of 10 geographic chapters and eight specialized
councils, led by member volunteers and professional staff, which strive
to address issues unique to the various professionals within the
association. This system promotes member participation and allows them
to influence future actions of the HBA. Sixty years and dozens of
awards, honors and recognition later, the association continues to
thrive and prosper.
The HBA is one of more than 800 local homebuilder associations throughout the U.S. and is affiliated with the Home Builders Association of Georgia and the National Association of Home Builders.
With approximately 3,800 members, the HBA is the second largest local
homebuilders association in the U.S. and represents the most active
residential building market in the country for the last 14 consecutive
years.
Builder members range from large companies to individual
contractors and include developers, custom and speculative builders,
multifamily builders, manufactured housing companies, residential
remodelers and general contractors.
Membership in the
association is not limited to builders; members represent an array of
housing-related businesses and industries including trade contractors;
building materials manufacturers, suppliers and distributors; lending
institutions; real estate companies; utilities; surveyors; title
companies; attorneys; accountants; engineers; architects; designers and
more.
The official charity of the HBA is HomeAid Atlanta,
a non-profit organization dedicated to building and renovating shelters
for temporarily homeless children, women and men in the Atlanta area.
The HomeAid Atlanta chapter has been active at the HBA since 2000.
