NRP’s Senior Vice President of Strategic Partnerships and Government Affairs will oversee programming and advocacy efforts on behalf of NAHB Multifamily Council members

SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The NRP Group, a vertically integrated, best-in-class developer, builder, and manager of multifamily housing, is pleased to announce Debra Guerrero, Senior Vice President of Strategic Partnerships and Government Affairs, has been appointed to Chairwoman of the National Association of Homebuilders’ (NAHB) Multifamily Council. As chairwoman, Guerrero will lead efforts to shape the council’s strategic direction and ensure membership continues to grow.

“I am honored to serve as Chair of the NAHB Multifamily Council and grateful for the opportunity to represent such a passionate and diverse group of industry leaders,” said Guerrero. “Multifamily professionals are navigating unprecedented times in the U.S., driven by shifting economic headwinds, evolving policy landscapes and growing renter demand. This opens the door for bold, collaborative leadership through cohorts like NAHB’s Multifamily Council to drive transformative progress in the rental housing market. I look forward to upholding the Council’s mission to ensure that multifamily development remains a core component of the national housing solution.”

The NAHB Multifamily Council is a collaborative coalition for professionals across the multifamily housing industry to exchange ideas, address emerging challenges and strengthen their collective reach and impact. Through networking, education and advocacy, the council empowers members to navigate policy shifts and respond effectively to ever-evolving market dynamics.

As head of the council, Guerrero will serve as an ambassador and advocate for council members including builders, developers, owners and managers across the multifamily housing landscape. This includes owners and operators of affordable and tax-credit housing, mixed-income housing, workforce housing, garden-style communities (low-, mid- and high-rise), condos, student housing and specialized housing for military and veterans. In this role, she will also engage in advocacy efforts at the Congressional and White House levels, providing firsthand accounts of how national policies impact multifamily housing production and development across the country.

With decades of experience and a proven track record of leadership across multiple organizations, Guerrero is an expert authority and leader in the multifamily housing industry. She is committed to creating thoughtful multifamily communities that explore economic development holistically and tear down barriers to equitable housing for families of all income levels.

In her 20 years at The NRP Group, Guerrero oversaw the opening of the firm’s San Antonio office – the second largest office across the organization and home to over 200 employees – and played a significant role in growing the firm’s Texas footprint to surpass 30,000 units of affordable, workforce and market-rate housing.

In addition to her role at The NRP Group, she holds multiple influential positions with the Affordable Housing Tax Credit Coalition and BUILD-PAC, NAHB’s bipartisan political arm, which helps elect pro-housing, pro-business candidates to federal office. Guerrero is also involved in numerous civic and professional organizations, spanning education, economic development, healthcare and small business advocacy.

Guerrero adds, “It is a privilege to help guide the multifamily industry at a time when our collective work has never been more essential. Throughout my career, I have seen how thoughtful housing policy and inclusive development can transform lives and communities. This new role is an opportunity to continue that mission on a broader scale.”
