About National Homeownership Month Homeownership has long been the cornerstone of the American Dream. It provides more than shelter for your family and a home for your most valued treasures. Homeownership is a symbol of prosperity that is achieved by more Americans each year with the help of innovative builders, improvements in the access to capital and the myriad government and industry programs developed to make homeownership a reality. Last year, homeownership in the U.S. reached a record high of 68 percent. This figure distinguishes our nation as one of the best-housed countries in the world and further illustrates the home building industry as a key to economic growth in our nation. National Homeownership Month offers us the opportunity to reflect on how homeownership has enhanced our lives and contributed to the thriving communities we call home. Home builders continue to work with housing finance innovators, consumer education organizations and government officials to advance affordable homeownership in our country. Join the National Association of Home Builders and home builders nationwide in recognizing this vital industry this month and celebrate with us this year as we recognize the strength and innovation of home building.
