AmeriDream Forms Homeowners' Group

AmeriDream Inc., Gaithersburg, Md., has announced the formation of the Association for Homeowners Across America, a first-of-its-kind nonprofit membership group that AmeriDream says will provide a one-stop resource for homeownership-related education, services, exclusive offers, and advocacy."Homeowners and homebuyers often feel intimidated before, during, and after the homebuying process, because of the enormous commitment that buying a home entails," said AmeriDream president and chief executive Ann Ashburn. "AHAA will be there, in their communities, to provide education, answer their questions, offer them exclusive opportunities, and serve as their voice to local, state, regional, and national lawmakers." Beginning in June, AmeriDream said AHAA members will receive homeownership preparation classes; financial planning and wealth-building assistance; exclusive home safety and inspection opportunities and information; downpayment assistance; and home retention and loss mitigation assistance.
