Homeownership Month 2007
Carencro, Louisiana
CARENCRO, June 19, 2007 – USDA Rural Development State Director Clyde
Holloway was joined in Carencro, Louisiana, for a National Homeownership
Month celebration by USDA Rural Development’s Deputy Administrator
for Single Family Housing David Villano. Holloway and Villano
planted a tree in Christopher and Jene Boulet’s
yard.
The Boulet’s recently moved into a new home financed through
an innovative “construction to permanent” guaranteed home loan
program that is a partnership effort between USDA Rural Development
and JPMorgan Chase. This government/private partnership program was
formed in response to the need to provide more affordable homes for
people in rural areas.
Michael Knobloch, Executive Director of
the Louisiana Urban Forestry Council,
provided assistance in planting the tree and educating the new
homeowner on tree care and maintenance. |
