                                POWER OF ATTORNEY

I, Robert L. Johnson, do hereby constitute and appoint each of Wendy C. Shiba,
Tony Richelieu and David B. Simons, signing singly, as my true and lawful
attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution for each of them in any and
all capacities, with all power and authority:

    (1)  to prepare, execute and submit (a) to the United States Securities and
         Exchange Commission (the "Commission") in my name and on my behalf all
         Forms 3, 4 and 5 (including any amendments thereto) in accordance with
         Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules
         promulgated thereunder, and (b) in my name and on my behalf any other
         forms, documents or reports (collectively, "Reports") that I may be
         required to submit to the Commission or other government authority as a
         result of my holdings of or transactions in securities of KB HOME; and

    (2)  to do and perform any acts of any type whatsoever which, in the opinion
         of such attorney-in-fact, may be necessary or desirable in the exercise
         of any of the rights and powers granted hereunder; it being understood
         that any Forms 3, 4 and 5 and any Reports prepared, executed or
         submitted by such attorney-in-fact pursuant to and in accordance with
         this Power of Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such
         terms as such attorney-in-fact may approve in such attorney-in-fact's
         discretion.

I hereby ratify and confirm all that such attorney-in-fact, or such
attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be
done pursuant to and in accordance with this Power of Attorney and the rights
and powers granted hereunder. I acknowledge that each such attorney-in-fact, in
serving in such capacity at my request, is not assuming, nor is KB HOME
assuming, any of my responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 or any laws or regulations applicable to Reports.

This Power of Attorney shall continue in full force and effect for so long as I
am required to submit Forms 3, 4 or 5 or Reports with respect to my holdings of
or transactions in securities of KB HOME, unless earlier revoked by me in a
signed writing delivered to any attorney-in-fact designated hereunder (or a
successor).

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have caused this Power of Attorney to be executed and
become effective as of the date set forth below.
