    Proclamation 9761 of May 31, 2018

    National Homeownership Month, 2018

    By the President of the United States of America

    A Proclamation

    During National Homeownership Month, we affirm the joy and benefits of
    homeownership. For millions of Americans, owning a home is an

    important step toward financial security and achieving the American
    Dream. My Administration is committed to fostering an economic
    environment in which every family has the opportunity to enjoy the sense
    of pride and stability that can come with owning a home.
    Our Nation's economy is experiencing tremendous growth. I signed into
    law historic tax reform that cut taxes for middle class Americans and
    small businesses. My Administration has also slashed unnecessary and
    burdensome regulations that stunted economic growth. As a result of
    these actions, Americans are keeping more of their hard-earned
    paychecks, unemployment rates are at historic lows, and more Americans
    are entering the workforce. Consequently, owning a home is becoming more
    attainable for many Americans.
    Numerous benefits are associated with homeownership. Owning a home gives
    Americans a place to call their own, and a place of comfort and safety
    where they can raise their families. Homeowners also support local
    businesses, have a strong vested interest in their communities, and
    foster bonds of friendship with others who live and work in their
    neighborhoods. A home is more than a place to live--it is also an
    investment in family, in community, and in the long-term prosperity of
    our great country.
    This month, we celebrate those Americans whose success and determination
    have helped make them homeowners. Their dedication to their families and
    communities, and to achieving a brighter and more secure future, is an
    inspiration to each person who is pursuing their own American Dream.
    NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of
    America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and
    the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2018 as National
    Homeownership Month.
    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirty-first day of
    May, in the year of our Lord two thousand eighteen, and of the
    Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-
    second.
    DONALD J. TRUMP
