Each year during National Homeownership Month, we take stock of what’s helping and what’s holding back first-time homebuyers across the country. This year, a major barrier came through loud and clear: misinformation about down payments.
Washington, D.C. – NeighborWorks® America announced today housing and lending activities by its nationwide network of nonprofit community development organizations resulted in $2.32 billion of total investment into the creation and preservation of affordable homeownership and rental housing. Federal investment in NeighborWorks America is an efficient and effective way to deliver affordable housing dollars, with every dollar of federal appropriation multiplied 71 times on behalf of individuals and families across America. 

National Homeownership Month celebrates the importance of homeownership in the United States. NeighborWorks America, along with the NeighborWorks network, celebrates homeownership year round  and centers housing counseling as a way to help people decide if homeownership is right for them and, if it is, to help them down that path. 

It’s National Homeownership Month, a time to recognize the importance of homeownership. It may look a little different now, but for many, it is still the American Dream and a path to achieving generational wealth. Today, we share Dawson Bowcut's journey to homeownership, which is tied in with NeighborWorks America and its job of creating homes, building America.
