A message from your HBAV President Dan Sandoval:
With the spread of the corona virus hitting all industries, the Home Builders Association of Virginia along with NAHB and our local associations are working to limit its effects on the housing industry. As outlined in previous messages, HBAV is working diligently to identify ways that our industry may be affected and communicating the importance that home building industry has to the citizens of Virginia and the Virginia Economy.
None the less, HBAV members need to be prepared for the possibility of disruption and delays to normal business. Depending on the local government and the builder’s vendor partners, delay may come in the form of permit issuance, inspections, closings, access to materials, etc. They may also come in the form of project delays by local boards and councils. HBAV urges members to check with their vendor partners and watch their cash reserves during these turbulent times.
HBAV members companies are not immune from this virus. We encourage all businesses in Virginia to do their part to implement the guidelines issued by
the CDC.

Many of you have already contacted HBAV on the challenges you're facing related to COVID-19. Please continue to
contact HBAV
as we work through these turbulent times. If we all work together to mitigate the impact and spread of coronavirus, I am confident that housing will be set for a rebound given low mortgage rates and pent up demand.
HBAV will continue to work for our members and re-evaluate resources that HBAV may be able to provide as we work through the outbreak. We will get through this together!
