Our Code of Ethics:

  1. Home ownership should be within reach of every American family.

  3. We will strive consistently to comply with the spirit of the law in financial transactions and business contracts, and manage our dealings with employees, subcontractors and suppliers with fairness.
  4. We will work toward establishing a balance between legitimate environmental concerns and the need to develop and construct new housing and remodeling of existing homes. This will include the conservation of land and energy through consideration of the natural environment as a fundamental element in housing design.
  5. To maintain our leadership as a progressive industry, we will continue to encourage research and development of new materials, building techniques, building equipment and improved methods of home financing.
  6. All sound legislative proposals affecting our industry and the people we serve shall have our informed and vigorous support.
