National Homeownership Month, 2018

Proclamation 9761 of May 31, 2018

National Homeownership Month, 2018

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

During National Homeownership Month, we affirm the joy
and benefits of homeownership. For millions of
Americans, owning a home is an important step toward
financial security and achieving the American Dream. My
Administration is committed to fostering an economic
environment in which every family has the opportunity
to enjoy the sense of pride and stability that can come
with owning a home.

Our Nation's economy is experiencing tremendous growth.
I signed into law historic tax reform that cut taxes
for middle class Americans and small businesses. My
Administration has also slashed unnecessary and
burdensome regulations that stunted economic growth. As
a result of these actions, Americans are keeping more
of their hard-earned paychecks, unemployment rates are
at historic lows, and more Americans are entering the
workforce. Consequently, owning a home is becoming more
attainable for many Americans.

Numerous benefits are associated with homeownership.
Owning a home gives Americans a place to call their
own, and a place of comfort and safety where they can
raise their families. Homeowners also support local
businesses, have a strong vested interest in their
communities, and foster bonds of friendship with others
who live and work in their neighborhoods. A home is
more than a place to live--it is also an investment in
family, in community, and in the long-term prosperity
of our great country.

This month, we celebrate those Americans whose success
and determination have helped make them homeowners.
Their dedication to their families and communities, and
to achieving a brighter and more secure future, is an
inspiration to each person who is pursuing their own
American Dream.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the
United States of America, by virtue of the authority
vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States, do hereby proclaim June 2018 as National
Homeownership Month.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
thirty-first day of May, in the year of our Lord two
thousand eighteen, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and forty-
second.
