Last week, the Paulding County
Builders Association launched a
letter writing campaign urging our
elected officials to take the steps
needed to FIX HOUSING FIRST.
The first wave of letters has been
sent, but there is still time for your
business to get behind one of the
most important movements this
industry has ever participated in.
The Fix Housing First Coalition is a
diverse group of housing
stakeholders dedicated to
addressing the root cause of our
economic troubles. The coalition is
advocating for a short-term
incentive for qualified home buyers
that would stop the fall in home
values, restore consumer
confidence, create jobs and lift our
entire economy.
What are some proposed solutions?
1) Continue and enhance
Foreclosure Prevention measures
to keep people in their homes, help
stabilize home prices and bolster
the economy,
2) Implement a viable foreclosure
plan to help stabilize the housing
market. Millions of mortgages are
already underwater and more
adjustable rate mortgages are due
to reset over the next thirty six
months,
3) Enhance the Home Buyer Tax
Credit, and
4) Create below market 30-year
fixed-rate mortgage for home
purchases.
The association has form letters
ready to send, simply bring your
letterhead to the PCBA office and
we will handle the rest. For more
