Michael Fazio
Executive Director
New York State Builders Association (NYSBA)
Mike Fazio is Executive Director of the New York State Builders Association (NYSBA), where he leads advocacy efforts to expand housing production, promote homeownership and housing affordability, and strengthen New York’s residential construction industry. Since assuming the position in late 2022, he has worked extensively to address regulatory and policy barriers that increase the cost and complexity of housing development and limit opportunities for New York families to achieve homeownership.
Fazio brings more than 30 years of experience as a builder and developer, with a particular focus on affordable and middle-income housing for working families. His firsthand experience in residential construction and land development provides a practical perspective on the regulatory, economic, and financing challenges that affect housing production.
At the national level, Fazio has held several leadership positions with the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), including Chair of the Land Development Committee and Chair of the Land Use Structural Inequities Working Group. Through these roles, he has contributed to national policy discussions concerning housing affordability, land use, regulatory reform, and access to homeownership.
In his current role, Fazio has been a leading voice on efforts to remove unnecessary regulatory barriers and reduce costs and delays that constrain housing production. His work is focused on advancing policies that can help New York produce more attainable housing while maintaining strong standards for safety, quality, and environmental stewardship.
