PRESIDENTS MESSAGE As this issue goes to print we are signing off on a release of DeKalb County as one of our assigned territories. The HBAGC Board vote was unanimous but there was much discussion that saw a big positive for Illinois and Greater Chicago. We get to market that a state that isn’t doing very well in terms of single family new construction creates a brand new HBA with potentially 55 members. DeKalb Builders Association had no affiliation with NAHB but they saw the light when they had a political issue with nobody to argue their side. And then they saw the other benefits of being a member of a larger trade association with its marketing help, advocacy, relationship building and gaining inside knowledge of what is really going on. Next, Key Award submittals have a deadline of August 1. If you know of anyone that has a project they might want recognized please let the committee know. This includes homes, condos, apartments, interior design, remodeling and community efforts. Remember this is probably one of the least expensive ways to market your properties. And it shows that HBAGC has some great members doing great stuff. Finally we have just finished a very successful golf outing and look forward to summer events with other associations.

New BREAK-THROUGH!® Paint Formula from PPG PAINTS™ By Myhka McKinney
The paint color and quality in a space speaks volumes. So why choose a paint that will leave behind streaks or begin to crackle over time? PPG Paints’ new lowVOC BREAK-THROUGH!® paint formula provides the highest-quality paint by incorporating innovative technology into a new high-performance mixture. With superior color, drying time, and finishes, PPG Paints’ newest paint is perfect for any interior or exterior surface. The advanced features of the BREAKTHROUGH!® paint, however, make application easy for homeowners or professionals. About PPG The new low-VOC BREAK-THROUGH!® paint is a new product from PPG PAINTS™.

product. However, PPG is proud to release the new and improved formula with low-VOC product technology. More specifically, a <50 grams per liter volatile organic compound (VOC) formula. The BREAK-THROUGH!® paint is an excellent alternative to any interior or exterior acrylic paint. This innovative product has a smooth, brush streak-free finish that will not crackle or peel. In other words, the BREAKTHROUGH!® paint can be applied to a wide variety of both residential or commercial surfaces. These consist of: • Floors • Trim • Cabinets • Railings • Shelving • Equipment • Metal • Wood • Concrete • Fiber Glass • Laminate • Most Plastics
PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT
The new application improvements for the BREAKTHROUGH!® formula includes: • Slightly higher viscosity for easier handling; • Improved sag resistance, resulting in a more even finish; • Improved flow and leveling, providing an enamel-smooth finish with fewer brush marks; • Quick drying time of 17 to 20 minutes to touch, two hours for recoat, resulting in less downtime and quicker job completion; and • Slightly more “open time,” or time that paint is wet enough for a brush to move through it, giving pros a longer time to frame to fix brush marks or drips. The low-VOC BREAK-THROUGH!® paint is available in satin or gloss finishes.
Where to Purchase This new innovative product is available at PPG Paints stores as well as various dealer locations throughout North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa where PPG Paints are sold.

typical suburban lifestyle doesn’t yet support an auto-less existence, even for TODs located in the center of town. Residential demand for parking is compounded by the suburban TOD’s commercial components that also bring greater parking needs. The additional off-street parking TODs provide also serves to free up the curbside parking favored by small merchants and service providers. By our count, Oak Park’s downtown district stands to gain an additional 1,400 parking spaces through the developments currently underway there, including Oak Park Station, a FitzGerald-designed TOD that will include 428 parking spaces for public, residential and retail uses. With their built-in residential foot traffic, suburban TODs are also prime venues for restaurant tenants – even more so than urban TODS where there are usually numerous dining options within walking distance of a development. For bigger-box retail spaces in suburban TODs, local and specialized grocers garner the most attention, which can be highly attractive to not only the building’s residents, but also a village’s downtown work force. In working with developers to determine what other major shifts lie ahead for suburban TOD, we certainly can’t ignore the trend of corporations like McDonald’s and Kraft-Heinz choosing to move their headquarters to the city. Far-sighted developers may find the next hot spot for suburban TODs to be those challenged corporate parks with Metra access. Where walkable transit doesn’t exist, savvy builders and owners, both commercial and residential, would be wise to consider offering rush hour shuttles to train stations to help solve users’ “last mile” woes. Developers, investors and residents new and old stand to benefit much in the near future as suburban TODs continue to grow in popularity. With the support of local officials and neighbors, suburban TODs can be a muchneeded economic boost and a positive game-changer for many downtowns. FitzGerald Associates Architects is an award-winning architecture and design firm specializing in new and rehabilitated residential, commercial and office space. One of the most active architecture firms in transit-oriented development, FitzGerald has designed many TODs in Chicago and the surrounding surburbs over the firm’s nearly 100 year history.

As the Housing Recovery Strengthens, Affordability and Other Challenges Remain The national housing market has now regained enough momentum to provide an engine of growth for the US economy, according to the latest The State of the Nation’s Housing report released today by the Joint Center for Housing Studies. Robust rental demand continues to drive the housing expansion, and sales, prices, and new construction of single-family homes are on the rise. Even more important, income growth has picked up, particularly among the huge millennial population that is poised to form millions of new households over the coming decade. At the same time, however, several obstacles continue to hamper the housing recovery—in particular, the lingering pressures on homeownership, the eroding affordability of rental housing, and the growing concentration of poverty. The national homeownership rate has been on an unprecedented 10-year downtrend, sliding to just 63.7 percent in 2015. As Chris Herbert, managing director of Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies, notes, “Tight mortgage credit, the decade-long falloff in incomes that is only now ending, and a limited supply of homes for sale are all keeping households—especially first-time buyers—on the sidelines. And even though a rebound in home prices has helped to reduce the number of underwater owners, the large backlog of foreclosures is still a serious drag on homeownership.” As these lingering effects of the housing crash fade,
homeownership may regain some lost ground, but how soon and how much are open to question. Moreover, the report finds that income inequality increased over the past decade, with households earning under $25,000 accounting for nearly 45 percent of the net growth in US households in 2005–2015. As Herbert sums it up, “The question is not so much whether families will want to buy homes in the future, but whether they will be able to do so.” Mirroring the persistent weakness on the owner-occupied side is the equally long surge in rental housing demand, with increases across all age groups, income levels, and household types. With vacancy rates down sharply and rents climbing, multifamily construction is booming across the country. But with strong growth among high-income renters, so far most of this new housing is intended for the upper end of the market, with rents well out of reach of the typical renter making $35,000 a year. Because of the widening gap between market-rate rents and the amounts many households can afford at the 30-percentof-income standard, the number of cost-burdened renters hit 21.3 million in 2014. Even worse, 11.4 million of these households paid more than half their incomes for housing, a record high. The report finds that rent burdens are increasingly common among moderate-income households, especially in the nation’s 10 highest-cost housing markets, where three-quarters of renters earning $30,000–45,000 and half of those earning $45,000–75,000 paid at least 30 percent of their incomes for housing in 2014.

MARKET NEWS
Cost burdens are nearly universal among the nation’s lowestincome households. Federal assistance reaches only a quarter of those who qualify, leaving nearly 14 million households to find housing in the private market where low-cost units are increasingly scarce. Low-income households with cost burdens face higher rates of housing instability, more often settle for poor-quality housing, and have to sacrifice other needs— including basic nutrition, health, and safety—to pay for their housing. These conditions have serious long-term consequences, particularly for chil-

dren’s future achievement. “And compounding these challenges,” added Daniel McCue, a senior research associate at the Joint Center, “residential segregation by income has increased. Between 2000 and 2014, the number of people living in neighborhoods of concentrated poverty more than doubled to 13.7 million.” The report notes that a lack of a strong federal response to the affordability crisis has left state and local governments struggling to expand rental assistance and promote construction of affordable housing in areas with access to better educational and employment opportunities through inclusionary zoning and other local resources. But as Herbert added, “These efforts are falling far short of need. Policymakers at all levels of government need to take stock of what can and should be done to expand access to goodquality, affordable housing that is so central to the current well-being and potential contribution of each and every individual.” -The State of the Nation’s Housing, released annually by the Joint Center for Housing Studies, provides a periodic assessment of the nation’s housing outlook and summarizes important trends in the economics and demographics of housing. The report continues to earn national recognition as an authoritative source of information regularly utilized by housing researchers, industry analysts, policymakers, LIFESTYLE and the business community. Principal funding for this report was provided by the Ford Foundation and the Policy Advisory Board of the Joint Center for Housing Studies. Additional support was provided by Federal Home Loan Banks; Housing Assistance Council; MBA’s Research Institute for Housing America; the National Association of Home Builders; the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO); the National Association of REALTORS®; the National Council of State Housing Agencies; the National Housing Conference; the National Housing Endowment; the National Low Income Housing Coalition; and the National Multifamily Housing Council.

Successful Lobby Day Bill Ward, Executive Vice President, HBAI
The 2016 HBAI Lobby Day participants may be best sized up as a group that works hard and plays hard. The preparation and execution of seven of our local associations had our members and local executives meeting with their elected officials right up to the moment we started our evening reception. And our reception was grand, with the Senate Republican Leader, Christine Radogno dropping by, as well as Hugo Chaviano, the Director of the Illinois Department of Labor. In all, 45 Representatives and Senators stopped by the HBAI Lobby Day Reception to meet builders and associates from their region of the state. Thank You East Central, Greater Southwest, Greater Chicago, Springfield Area, Southwest Suburban, Northern, and Peoria HBAs for covering the ground you did on Lobby Day. You made our day in Springfield work for all of our members. Here’s what we have accomplished: Interior Design Practice Act – the sponsor of the bill agreed with our members that the bill does more than the proponents maintain it does, and vowed to hold the bill from consideration, as written. SB463 would move interior design from a Title Act to a Practice Act, meaning there would be a day when our builders and remodelers would be need sign-off by an interior designer prior to a closing on new construction or finishing a remodeling job. Reversal of Authority for Public Construction Bonds – the sponsor of this bill agreed with HBAI that proponents of the bill need to study this matter more before moving it forward. SB3053 would have taken the authority to choose bonding tools away from developers and would have given it to the counties and municipalities. The option has been with the developer for 20 years. Mandatory Paid Sick Leave – two bills that would have required the smallest of employers to provide paid sick leave have been halted in the House & Senate
22 SUMMER 2016
(HB3297 & SB2147). Progressive Income Tax – attempts to amend the constitution and create the “millionaires brackets” for the taxation of income stalled in the House. HBAI opposes this tax in its proposed form. Sales Tax on Services – the expansion of state sales tax onto services, not just products, is not moving at this time. HBAI is opposed to its application onto home construction and remodeling. Consolidation of Local Government Functions – legislation to downsize some local government functions is on the move and is supported by HBAI. HB4501 passed out of Senate Local Government Committee and now awaits final passage on the Senate floor. And a big Home Builder Thank You goes to House Rep. David Harris, a Republican from Arlington Heights. The Minority Spokesman on the House Revenue Committee, Rep. Harris gave us up-to-the-minute information on how the Illinois General Assembly is attempting to solve its budgetary and pension fund obligations. The General Assembly is set to adjourn in less than three weeks. Hopefully, all of our good work will remain in effect through the May 31 adjournment date.
