Support the Build American Efficiency Act to help homebuilders identify verified American-made materials and streamline Build America, Buy America compliance for affordable housing construction.

“Despite our country’s desperate need for additional affordable housing options, American homebuilders face steep costs and bureaucratic red tape,” said Senator King. “The Build American Efficiency Act would empower the Department of Housing and Urban Development to share information to help builders, manufacturers, and housing providers navigate complicated compliance requirements and identify verified American-made products. Eliminating this time-consuming and costly additional step for homebuilders will allow them to build more homes faster. It’s a three-page bill that amounts to a common-sense helping hand.”

King said the Build American Efficiency Act would empower HUD to share information helping builders, manufacturers, and housing providers navigate compliance requirements and identify verified American-made products, allowing builders to build more homes faster.
