Whereas the month of June is recognized as National Homeownership Month; Whereas the people of the United States are one of the best-housed populations in the world; Whereas owning a home is a fundamental part of the American dream and is the largest personal investment many families will ever make; Whereas homeownership provides economic security for homeowners by aiding them in building wealth over time and strengthens communities through a greater stake among homeowners in local schools, civic organizations, and churches; Whereas creating affordable homeownership opportunities requires the commitment and cooperation of the private, public, and nonprofit sectors, including the Federal Government and State and local governments; Whereas homeownership can be sustained through appropriate homeownership education and informed borrowers; and Whereas affordable homeownership will play a vital role in resolving the crisis in the United States housing market: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1)fully supports the goals and ideals of National Homeownership Month; (2)recognizes the importance of homeownership in building strong communities and families; and (3)reaffirms the importance of homeownership in the Nation’s economy and its central role in our national economic recovery.
