‘Building Homes of Our Own’ Wins National Award

“Building Homes of Our Own”  received the prestigious national Bronze Anvil Award from the Public Relations Society of America on June 5 in recognition of the middle school CD-ROM program’s use of interactive communications.

The award recognizes new, creative and unconventional uses of technology in a public relations program.

In just eight months, “Building Homes of Our Own” has been put into the hands of 20,000 teachers, giving the educational home building game a potential reach of 1.5 million people.

See how Countrywide®'s National Builder Division can help builders achieve higher turns.
Discover how qualified borrowers can boost their home-buying power with one of Countrywide's 140+ home loan products.

Educators continue to praise the program as one of the best teaching tools they have ever used in the classroom, and they are integrating the program into their curriculums school-wide.
