| Importance Increasingly, public officials, community leaders, and academics are looking to housing policy and the promotion of homeownership in particular, as a cornerstone strategy in fostering sustained community revitalization. Research is demonstrating that home ownership can help stabilize and maintain the vitality of a neighborhood or area, stimulating positive social and economic growth. In addition, high rates of homeownership in a neighborhood promote community involvement, increase resident satisfaction and raise the neighborhoodﾒs image. According to Census data, buyers live in a community four times longer than renters. Since homeowners are typically more invested in a community, social and political networks are more easily established, as are stable environments for childrenﾒs development |
