Home building and remodeling, including the development and rehab of LIHTC sites, have generated 274,000 jobs over the past two and a half years, said Robert Dietz, an economist with the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). Dietz recently testified before the Senate Banking Committee’s Subcommittee on Economic Policy during a hearing examining the drivers of job creation.
