               COMMEMORATING NATIONAL HOMEOWNERSHIP MONTH

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise to commemorate 
National Homeownership Month, a time to reflect on the American Dream 
of owning a home and what it means for the communities of eastern North 
Carolina.
  Homeownership for communities across the east is the cornerstone of 
stability and prosperity.
  From putting down roots to building wealth, owning a home represents 
a significant milestone in the lives of Americans.
  Through homeownership, we build strong communities and provide 
stability for families, yet we know there are many challenges.
  Affordability remains a concern for many hardworking families. 
Congress has a duty to ensure that the American Dream of owning a home 
is alive and well no matter what your background or ZIP Code.
  We must double down on our efforts to improve access to affordable 
housing, especially in rural America.
