What is National Homeownership Month?President George W. Bush proclaimed June as the National Homeownership Month in 2002 stating,

"Homeownership is an important part of the American Dream…A home provides shelter and a safe place where families can prosper and children can thrive. For many Americans, their home is an important financial investment, and it can be a source of great personal pride and an important part of community stability."

National Homeownership Month has been recognized each June since then.
