June is National Homeownership Month and Emerald Home Loans is celebrating all month long.
For many generations, owning a home has been a source of pride and security. In fact, it has always been considered a major part of the American Dream. From rural counties to bustling cities, owning a home offers an opportunity to lay down roots, start a family and embark on new beginnings. And now, more than ever, our homes have become an integral part of our lives. With millions of people stuck in their homes this past year, the pandemic has definitely changed the meaning and the experience of “home”. They’re much more than the houses we live in. They’re our workplaces, virtual schools, and safe havens that have provided shelter, stability, and protection.
Even with a new perspective on homeownership, the benefits that it brings to families, neighborhoods, and communities across America have not.
How It All Started
National Homeownership Month started as a week-long celebration of homeownership during the Clinton administration in 1995. In 2002, President George W. Bush proclaimed June as the National Homeownership Month. Today, the mortgage industry continues the message of helping people realize the dream of responsible homeownership.
