NAHB Resources Available to Promote Homeownership Month
Each year, the housing industry celebrates Homeownership Month in June to remind consumers about the importance of home in our lives. To help members and state and local associations shine a spotlight on National Homeownership Month throughout June, NAHB has a robust online toolkit available.
The value Americans place on owning their home continues even through challenging times. According to a recent Federal Reserve Bank of New York survey, more than two-thirds (67%) of Americans say housing is a good investment.
NAHB's homeownership month toolkit materials can be tailored for any local market. Resources within the online toolkit include:
- Eye-catching social media images and messages with timely topics related to homeownership.
- Talking points with key points and facts to help frame messages about the value of homeownership.
- The latest data and analysis related to homeownership from NAHB's economics team.
- Social media videos with a customization option available exclusively for state or local associations.
- A collection of consumer-oriented customizable articles that can be added to websites, blogs or submitted to local media outlets.
