NAHB University of Housing Designation Programs

Education is at the very core of the National Association of Home Builders' mission. Building industry professionals recognize the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) as a premier repository of housing knowledge and regularly turn to the association for their continuing education needs.

Through NAHB, HBA of Metro Porland members and non-members receive the information and preparation that allow them to gain the competitive edge needed in our thriving industry.   In order to provide easier access, more efficient management, enhanced program quality, and comprehensive information about educational opportunities, The NAHB University of Housing was formed to consolidate educational offerings into one location. We invite you to invest in your professional growth and the success of your business by earning a designation, attending an event, or simply taking a course or two.
