Welcome to the HBACC
Home Builders Association of the Central Coast is a non-profit California 501(c)(6) trade association representing Home Builders and all related industry professionals in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties. We educate, advocate, and effect change while giving back to the public through a variety of programs and offerings. We address the need for workforce housing while promoting housing for all.
HBACC serves you within the building industry by working closely with the California Building Industry Association (CBIA) and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) to provide comprehensive programs, including powerful legislative advocacy, effective business networking, money-saving benefits, proven educational programs, up-to-date industry awareness, and valuable publications and resources.
​
Be sure to take advantage of the NAHB Savings Program. It can more than pay for membership through company discounts on a variety of everyday industry items.
Our Services
Advocacy and Government Affairs
Our main focus is providing workforce housing for first responders, teachers, professors, organization executives, and building industry workers.
To achieve that, we help ensure jurisdiction fees are responsible, not excessive, for the infrastructure needed to build housing. We encourage reasonable regulations to protect without exponentially increasing the cost of housing. We also promote streamlined planning and building processes and interpretations to expedite approvals.
We provide the connection between builders and subcontractors and industry professionals. We hold events, bring everyone together, and make introductions. We promote members doing business with members.
​
We hold one to three events each month, including flagship events, mixers, educational events, and members-only events.
The Home Builders Association of the Central Coast offers its members a wealth of opportunities. These include educational seminars, access to up-to-date industry news, valuable networking events, and connections with builders. As a volunteer-driven organization, we encourage members to get involved by joining committees like Government Affairs, Membership, Events, and Finance. These committees collaborate closely with our Board and Executive Director, influencing policy, membership growth, event planning, and strategic goals.

Committees and Councils
The foundation of our organization is built upon the work of HBACC volunteers like you. The best way to learn more about us is to get involved, serve on a Committee, volunteer at an event, and eventually serve on our Board of Directors. Our current Committees include Government Affairs, Membership, Events, and Finance. Committees recommend policy on regulatory and legislative issues, recruit and retain members, plan programs and events, and achieve work set forth in our Strategic plan. Our Committees and Board work closely with our Executive Director to bring about much-needed housing on the Central Coast. We have a Builder Council and a Professional Women in Building Council.
