STORY SUMMARY:

Homeownership provides peace of mind, long-term security and a place to call your own.

It is the cornerstone of the American dream.

And it is a critical aspect of the American economy … an engine of job growth.

These were the themes of a Rally for Homeownership at Richmond CenterStage.

Hundreds of citizens from Richmond and other surrounding areas gathered to hear business leaders, politicians, community leaders and others express their support for homeownership.

Speakers at the rally noted that during the worst of the recession, roughly 3.2 million Americans were out of work as a result of the housing downturn.

The revitalization of the housing market – and the return of those jobs – is the key to a lasting economic recovery here in Richmond and across America.

Participants at the rally were called to reach out to their elected leaders to make sure they understand the importance of homeownership.
