50+ Housing Council
Our 50+ Housing Council is to provide a forum for those interested in all aspects of active adult living, universal, and accessible design. Throughout the Greater Houston area, we encourage continuous education, advocacy and networking with reliance on NAHB’s resources and industry leaders. The Council will be the utmost source for our aging population and empower the housing industry for promotion of optimal and safe aging in place.
The council meets the third Wednesday of every month at the GHBA offices at 2:00 p.m. All GHBA members are invited to attend the meetings.
