Boom or bust? Public Investment in HomeownershipDate: May 10 2004 -- May 10 2004 Place: 121 Cannon House Office Builiding, Washington, DC, USA Sponsored by: Population Resource Center Description: At 68.6 percent, the homeownership rate in the United States is at an all-time high. Even though minority homeownership rates continue to trail the national average, those numbers have also reached historical peaks. This program will detail the trends in homeownership to see how far we, as a nation, have come over the past 40 years. The current administration is promoting a policy aimed at increasing homeownership numbers even further, particularly among minority groups. However, efforts to expand homeownership come with a host of potential risks. This program will analyze the costs of benefits of public investment in this area in an effort to evaluate the current trajectory of housing policy in the U.S. Contact information: For more information or to RSVP. please email prc@prcdc.org.
