What is the state of America's housing industry and, more importantly, the future of home building across the nation as a shortage of workers continues to grow? That is but one of the major topics covered in a focused and far-ranging interview with the President and CEO of the National Housing Endowment, Mark Pursell.

Pursell joined Gold Coast Builders Assocation Executive Sam Yates and the Executive Officer of the Treasure Coast Builders Association, Deb Frazier, to stress the importance of bringing students into the home building industry. A variety of training programs and grants are helping to expand introductions to the home building market but, still, thousands of workers are needed.

In this episode of The Florida Business Forum, first streamed on the Gold Coast Builders Association's Builders Spotlight Podcast, you can find out how to support more education about the nation's home building industry.
