House Building Shortage Hits Hard | Orlando News
Description
The 21st Century Road to House Act just became law — and it’s not just about mortgages. It’s a direct response to a crippling labor shortage in construction, where builders are short 250,000 workers monthly and need 700,000 new hires yearly to close a 1.5 million home gap. With construction timelines stretched by nearly two months, prices are climbing and housing delays are piling up — a crisis that’s hitting both builders and buyers hard. The industry is calling for more people in skilled trades — careers that don’t require a four-year degree but offer real stability — but attracting new talent to replace retiring workers remains a stubborn challenge.
