Highlights from the Committee Meetings

The designation programs are going strong with 1,141 active CAPS and 732 active CGRs. In November, HBAs will be offering a 50% discount for classes, providing a great professional development opportunity for members. 

Guest speaker Judith Caden, director at the VA Loan Guaranty Service, spoke about the specially adaptive housing grant and loan program for veterans to remodel their homes. A member from Texas, Donnie Mack added that he found the VA program beneficial to his business and had already worked with several veterans on remodeling their homes.

On the policy front, work continues on forming the Green Standards with active input from remodelers. And the members anticipate benefiting from the new standards and online resources when released in 2008.
