Non-NAHB Groups Contacting Members, Causing Confusion NAHB members and home builders associations across the country have been contacted by organizations with misleading names or otherwise causing confusion about who they are. If you have received correspondence or contact from the “National Home Builders” or the “National Directory of Home Builders,” recognize that these organizations have no relationship with NAHB and are not part of, connected with or related to NAHB in any way. Any and all correspondence from NAHB will always include the full name “National Association of Home Builders” and/or the genuine NAHB logo.  For questions or concerns about any correspondence or contacts you may have received, e-mail William Deiss at NAHB, or call him at 800-368-5242 x8231.
