April Is New Homes Month

NAHB has declared April as “New Homes Month” and has created the 2004 New Homes Month Promotional Kit packed with statistics and stories on the importance of new-home construction to the U.S. economy and how homeownership contributes to The American Dream. Associations and builders can use this information to help promote the benefits of homeownership in their area.

You'll also find newspaper op-ed columns,  a proclamation, consumer articles and press releases that can be customized, homeownership ads and special tips for making the most of “New Homes Month” in your community. There's even an article on active adult community design.
