About LHBA
The Lawrence Home Builders Association is committed to helping make Lawrence and surrounding communities better places to live, work, and raise families. We are a nonprofit trade association affiliated with the Kansas Building Industry Association (KBIA) and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). We were chartered in 1995 as a local association by NAHB. At all levels, the goal of the Association is to provide safe, decent, affordable housing for America’s citizens.
LHBA supports our community is many ways. Along with Landplan Engineering, LHBA established the Lawrence Youth Scholarship Fund which donates annually to other nonprofit organizations such as Boys & Girls Club, VanGo, and Lawrence Parks & Recreation. Today, that fund, now called the Lawrence Home Builders Association Endowment, continues to support LHBA's charitable givings.
LHBA has fully funded and built two Habitat for Humanity homes in 2006 and 2014. We participated in the national Blitz Build effort between Home Builders Associations and Habitat for Humanities. Over $160,000 in materials and labor were donated by our members.
LHBA built and donated the “LAWRENCE” welcome signs at three gateways to the City.
LHBA has donated over $60,000 in Educational Scholarships to Douglas County residents to continue their education in a construction-related field.
LHBA built the Shelter at the Lawrence Arboretum Park in partnership with the Rotary clubs and City of Lawrence.
LHBA members serve on many trade and advisory boards to promote the interests of our industry.
