Corporation and the NeighborWorks network. View

The nationwide survey revealed that 85 percent of minority homeowners
are eager for their children to own their own homes, in contrast
with 61 percent of non-minority homeowners. The survey also shows
that minority homeowners are more committed to the value of homeownership.
Ken Wade, executive director of Neighborhood Reinvestment, was
interviewed for the article. Wade says the survey underscores
a major desire in most Americans, regardless of race, to own a
home.
The Neighborhood Reinvestment Corp. (www.nw.org)
is the founder of NeighborWorks, a network of 225 community-based
organizations around the country that help local communities improve
their neighborhoods.
