National Homeownership Month – Are you currently renting? Thinking about becoming a first-time homeowner? June has been declared National Homeownership Month. A time where nationwide focus is given to help individuals and families recognize the dream of homeownership. This year commemorates the 40th Anniversary of the historic 1968 Fair Housing Act. On April 11, 1968 President Lyndon Johnson urged congress to approve the Fair Housing Act just one week following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as a tribute to Dr. King’s legacy and commitment to civil rights. One of the Act’s central objectives was to prevent discrimination based on race in the sales or rental of housing. This historic Act has since empowered people from all races and ethnicities to pursue the dream of equal access to housing. In 2002 President George W. Bush enhanced our nation’s commitment to equal housing opportunities for all by designating June as National Homeownership Month, with the goal of increasing minority homeownership in America by 5.5 million by the end of the decade. Our Association is one-thousand percent behind this important nationwide initiative. As REALTORS® unlocking doors to homeownership is our business, and National Homeownership Month is a good time to raise awareness about the important social, economic and personal benefits of this cornerstone of the American Dream.
