Eric Hymowitz runs a home construction company, ROC Homes, where he oversees the building of private residences in various neighborhoods in Greater Houston, Texas. As a real estate and construction professional, Eric Hymowitz is affiliated with the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).
The NAHB is the largest network of home-building professionals in America. The organization aims to provide housing opportunities for everyone while striving to maintain professional success for its members. The organization also advocates for its members’ interests to the government at both state and federal levels.
In July 2021, the National Association of Home Builders was involved in a virtual discussion hosted by the presidency about the challenges facing the home building supply chain. The main challenge is the rise in the price of building materials resulting from the low supply. At the discussion, NAHB proposed that the lumber mill increased production to match the increase in demand.
The rise in the prices of home building materials had been evident for more than a year. In its capacity as an advocate of professional success for its members and economic growth, NAHB had been educating the government and the public on these high prices' effects on the economy. Leaders of the association appeared on major news outlets and had discussions with members of Congress, Cabinet leaders, and White House officials to reach a solution.
