WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) hosted its annual Innovative Housing Showcase on the National Mall welcoming more than 5,000 people, including policymakers, industry leaders, media, and members of the public. Themed, “The American Home is the American Dream,” the showcase commemorated America’s 250th birthday in partnership with the America250 Initiative, and spotlighted private sector innovation driving the American Dream of homeownership.

“Homeownership is central to the American Dream,” said Secretary Turner. “A home is much more than just four walls and a roof. It’s much more than just a financial investment. It is the foundation upon which Americans build lives of independence, empowerment, and self-sufficiency. These bedrock American values have defined us since the founding of our great nation and turned our country into a beacon of prosperity and hope.”
