The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and SGC Horizon today jointly announced that SGC Horizon has become the official media partner of NAHB effective as of January 1, 2021.
This new partnership agreement spans the broad range of SGC Horizon’s family of residential construction-related media products, providing an amplified voice for NAHB’s work and expansion for SGC Horizon’s programs.

The partnership takes advantage of the rich resources of both organizations. It ensures an extended reach for NAHB’s important advocacy issues, including housing affordability, workforce development, housing finance reform and much more, and focuses on measurable, multilateral digital, in-person and print content provided by SGC Horizon.
