“I’m deeply honored by the trust my peers have placed in me,” said Chapman. “Housing is foundational to economic strength and opportunity in this country. I’m committed to advancing policies that increase supply, protect affordability and support builders of all sizes as they meet the evolving needs of American families.”
As CEO of JCCG, Chapman leads a build-to-rent general contracting firm specializing in lot development, home construction and amenity delivery for institutional investors and private developers.
