Butler Family Recognized for “Owning Their Future"
BUTLER, MO, June 17, 2014 – On behalf of State Director Janie Dunning, today Housing Specialist Melody Roach recognized homeowners and a realtor in celebration of June as Homeownership Month. Ms. Roach presented a certificate to homeowners Gabriel and Heather Gillette, recognizing their success at achieving the dream of homeownership. Mary Coffman, realtor with Western MO Realty, was also acknowledged for her partnership in assisting the dream to come true.
Mr. and Mrs. Gillette had rented a home for some time and decided it was time to own a home of their own. They contacted USDA Rural Development to apply for a home loan and were approved for a Rural Development 502 Direct Loan. In May they, along with their five children, were able to close on their loan and move into their home.
Every June, USDA Rural Development celebrates National Homeownership Month to bring attention to the role housing plays in the U.S. economy. This year’s theme, “Own Your Future. Own Your Home,” celebrates the rural families who are working their way into the American dream by investing in a home of their own.
USDA Rural Development programs that support rural homeownership include:
· Direct home loans for very-low-income applicants. Payment assistance is provided that can lower the loan’s interest rate to as low as one percent.
