We Have Tools to Revive Homeownership — It's Time to Use Them
The decline in homeownership can be stopped, and even reversed, by taking action on credit access, better evangelizing for down payment programs and offering borrower counseling.

Homebuying Secret #4: Homeownership has benefits beyond your finances. Homeowners are more likely to be invested in the local community and form friendships that create belonging and value, compared to renters. Research is also clear that, when compared to renter households, children are 116% more likely to graduate from college and 59% more likely to own a home within 10 years of moving from their parent’s household.
