Housing & Building Association of Colorado Springs

What Housing & Building Association of Colorado Springs does

The Housing & Building Association of Colorado Springs (CSHBA) is a private nonprofit trade association founded in 1950, serving approximately 470 member companies across El Paso County and the broader Pikes Peak region. Its membership spans residential builders and developers, trade contractors, building material suppliers, mortgage lenders, and design professionals (architects, landscape architects, engineers). The association's core offerings are member services and signature programs rather than software: advocacy at local, state, and federal levels via a Political Action Committee and six standing committees (Construction Codes, Land Use, Utilities, Public Policy, PAC, Tri-Lakes); professional development through education programs and credentials such as CGR and CAPS; an annual Parade of Homes (entering its 72nd year in 2026) that generates ticket, sponsorship, and event revenue; the Remodelers Council ($70/person/year add-on to base HBA dues); the philanthropic HBA Cares foundation (operator of the Woody & Millie Ingram Guest House serving 1,025+ patients and families since May 2024); and the statewide Careers in Construction Colorado (CICC) workforce initiative, launched in 2015 and now serving 3,000+ students annually. Technology infrastructure is standard association-management software (GrowthZone) plus a Parade of Homes mobile app on iOS and Android.

Revenue is generated primarily through annual membership dues, event ticket sales (e.g., $18 adult Parade of Homes tickets with free admission for children 15 and under), event sponsorships, Remodelers Council dues, and contributions tied to philanthropic and workforce programs. The association is affiliated with the Colorado Association of Home Builders and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), giving local members access to federal advocacy, economic research, national designations, and member savings programs. Leadership comprises an Executive Officer (Marla Novak), a Director of Membership & Events (Emma Repp-Maxwell, promoted December 2025), and a volunteer board led by 2026 President Loren Moreland (VP, Classic Homes) with President-Elect Michael Suggs (NAI Highland) and Immediate Past President Andrea Barlow (N.E.S., Inc.). The association maintains a single headquarters at 4585 Hilton Parkway, Suite 100, Colorado Springs, and is not publicly listed; financial details are not disclosed in public filings or materials reviewed.

Regional players

• HBA of Greater Kansas City: Mid-sized HBA chapter serving the Kansas City metro builder community. Comparable in scope, membership (~hundreds of builder/associate firms), and event-driven engagement model, though operating in a different regional market.

Direct peers

• Home Builders Association of Denver (HBA Denver): Largest Colorado HBA chapter serving the Denver metro home building industry with advocacy, networking, and member services. Operates the same trade-association model, council structure, and Parade of Homes-style showcasing events that define CSHBA's playbook.
• Building Industry Association of Southern California (BIASC): Large regional HBA-style trade association serving builders, trade contractors, and suppliers in Southern California. Comparable in advocacy focus, Remodelers Council, PAC, and member-directory services to CSHBA, though at significantly larger scale.
• Greater Houston Builders Association (GHBA): Texas regional HBA chapter serving the Houston metro housing industry with advocacy, education, and signature showcase home events. Operates the same trade-association + council + committee structure CSHBA uses in Colorado Springs.
• Colorado Association of Home Builders (CAHB): State-level umbrella association for Colorado home builder associations, of which CSHBA is a member. CAHB coordinates statewide advocacy, joint voter guides, and PAC activities—directly comparable in membership model and political purpose.
• Master Builders Association of King & Snohomish Counties (MBAKS): Seattle-area HBA chapter providing advocacy, education, networking, and a renowned annual Parade of Homes event to its builder and associate members. Closely parallel in mission, revenue mix, and event-led member-engagement model.

Others

• AIA Colorado: State chapter of the American Institute of Architects serving Colorado design professionals. Competes for architect and design-professional members and overlaps with CSHBA's design-professional segment, though organized around architects rather than builders.
• Colorado Springs Chamber & EDC: Regional chamber of commerce and economic development organization serving the same Colorado Springs / El Paso County geography. Overlaps with CSHBA on local advocacy, networking events, and connection to housing-affordability and growth issues.

Broad incumbents

• National Association of Home Builders (NAHB): National federation of more than 650 state and local home builder associations representing 140,000+ builders. CSHBA is an affiliated local chapter; NAHB provides the federal advocacy, economic research, designation programs (CGR, CAPS), and member benefits CSHBA extends to its ~470 members.

Emerging players

• National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI): National trade association specifically serving professional remodelers through certifications, advocacy, and code of ethics. Overlaps with CSHBA's Remodelers Council both in audience (remodeling professionals) and in designation programs; competes for remodeling-firm dues.
