About Us

The Home Builders Association of Greater Baton Rouge (HBA|GBR) was founded by six residential contractors in 1953 as the Home Builders & Apartment Association of Greater Baton Rouge.

In 1997, the name was changed to the Capital Region Builders Association. The name was changed to its current form in 2018 to reflect the role of the association in the community.

HBA|GBR supports the home building industry in the nine-parish area known as the Capital Region, which holds more than 800,000 people (2020 Census).
