Housing Resource Packet

June is National Homeownership Month! Homeownership is considered a huge part of the “American Dream,” and a goal many of our Savers are working toward, in spite of the current inflation, rising interest rates, and overall housing market. While some may be working towards homeownership, others may choose that renting is the best choice for them (and that's okay!).

With this Housing Partner Resource Packet, you’ll be able to support your community with tools, tips, and content that will assist them in their decision to purchase or rent a home.

We encourage you to share the following social media content, blog posts, resources, and videos with your customers, members, constituents, and audience.
