Home Builders Association of the Sioux Empire

What Home Builders Association of the Sioux Empire does

Home Builders Association of the Sioux Empire (HBASE) is a non-profit regional trade association founded in 1956 and headquartered in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, serving the residential and light commercial building industry across the Sioux Empire. The organization represents more than 1,000 members, including builders, remodelers, subcontractors, specialty trades, suppliers, and service providers, and offers a 3-in-1 membership structure that bundles access to HBASE, the South Dakota Home Builders Association (SDHBA), and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) for $600 per year.

HBASE generates revenue through membership dues, consumer-facing events (the annual Sioux Empire Home Show at the Sioux Falls Convention Center, spring and fall Parade of Homes, and Showcase of Remodeled Homes), advertising in Home Ideas Magazine and the HBASE Newsletter, and event sponsorships. The association delivers member value through networking events, OSHA workshops, professional development programs, and a Government Affairs Director function that conducts advocacy at local, state, and federal levels — including participation in NAHB Spring Leadership meetings in Washington.

The organization operates a wholly-owned 501(c)(3) charitable subsidiary, the Home Builders Care Foundation, which administers high school and technical college scholarships (over $72,000 since the 1990s and $160,000 allocated to second-year students), workforce development grants, and the annual Repair Affair accessibility modification program for elderly and disabled homeowners, with cumulative community investment exceeding $1.5 million. The association is led by a three-person staff (Executive Vice President, Government Affairs Director, Membership & Events Director) and an elected Executive Board drawn from member companies.
