HOME OWNERSHIP MONTH
(Mrs. JONES of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Mrs. JONES of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, as many Members know, June is Home
Ownership Month. This past weekend in the great city of Cleveland in
the 11th Congressional District of Ohio, we hosted a housing summit. It
is wonderful that more than 500 people came out to the housing summit.
We had the opportunity to have people get free credit reports. More
than 275 people got free credit reports, and we were able to counsel
them.
Mr. Speaker, home ownership is a wonderful opportunity. It is an
American dream, and this weekend in the 11th Congressional District in
Ohio in conjunction with the Congressional Black Caucus Housing Summit,
we were able to help Americans realize that dream, for which I am very
thankful
