This Is Our Home
A Homeowner Manifesto
The American Homeowners Declaration of Strength and Unity
From the very beginning, home has been at the heart of the American storyāa place to call our own, to lay our heads, and to house our families.
To own a home is to have aĀ safe havenāa foundation of security, stability, and protection. But today, that safe haven is under pressure.
For too many, homeownership has become not a reward, but a struggle.
The Reality We Face
Every year, the cost of homeownership doesnāt just riseāit soars. Not because homes have changed, but becauseĀ the system is becoming more expensive, more complex, and harder for the average homeowner to navigate.
- Insurance premiums climb higher, while coverage shrinks.
- Mortgage lenders stack on hidden fees, turning fine print into financial traps.
- Crappy contractors overcharge, cut corners, and disappear when things go wrong.
- Property taxes inflate, yet the services we rely on seem to vanish.
Homeownership is the cornerstone of financial security for millions of Americans, but rising costs and a lack of transparency are making it harder than ever to protect what weāve built.
We are told this is just the way things are. That we must accept it. That we are alone.
But we areĀ notĀ alone.
Who We Are
We areĀ homeownersāmillions strong.Ā We are the backbone of America.
We believe inĀ fairness, accountability, and transparencyāvalues that benefit not only homeowners but also the businesses, industries, and policymakers who serve them.
We know thatĀ strong partnerships between homeowners, businesses, and local governmentsĀ can create solutions that work for everyone.
Real Voices, Real Struggles
“James Borow, a homeowner in Pacific Palisades, California, lost his fire insurance when major insurers pulled out of high-risk areas. Just three months later, his home was destroyed by wildfire while he was away on business. Forced onto Californiaās Fair Plan, his premiums skyrocketed by 400%, leaving him struggling to afford coverage.”
“Katherine Little, an 81-year-old homeowner in North Carolina, experienced a devastating sewage flood in her home, causing extensive damage. Despite the severity, her insurance claim was denied, with her insurer covering only $10,000 of the $63,000 needed for repairs. Her story is a stark reminder of the growing gap between what homeowners expect from their insurance and the reality they face.”
“Homeowners nationwide are grappling with skyrocketing property taxes and ‘phantom costs’āexpenses that go beyond the mortgage, including insurance hikes and maintenance costs. Many are caught off guard, struggling to stay afloat as the American Dream of homeownership becomes increasingly unaffordable.”
