Buying into the American Dream

For the fifth consecutive year, President Bush has declared the month of June as National Home Ownership Month. This effort is designed to encourage and inform prospective home buyers about the programs and tools available to make it possible for them to purchase a home, with a specific goal to increase minority homeownership in America by 5.5 million by 2010.

As part of the celebration, Nevada Association of Realtors (NVAR) members and leadership from around the state will participate in a Habitat for Humanity project in Las Vegas at the end of the month, building a house for a low-income family. The state association also will work with the National Association of Realtors to further promote tools and education for prospective home buyers.
