At ScoreCorrect, we believe that the ability to get people
into a home provides a unique opportunity to establish
stability and provides a way for people to become part of
a community.
Realtor Magazine reported in 2005 that the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF
REALTORS® examined much of the academic research identifying the
benefits of homeownership. NAR concluded that homeownership is an
unparalleled way to provide social benefits for a community. According to
NAR’s Social Benefits of Homeownership and Stable Housing, these include:
- Higher educational performance and better behavior of children
- Lower community crime rates
- Lessened welfare dependency among households
- More household participation in civic affairs
- Better household health
