  Testifying before the House Committee on Financial Services, Ellen Lazar, executive director of Neighborhood Reinvestment, outlined a five-year goal for the national NeighborWorks Campaign for Home Ownership, which has already helped more than 60,000 families become homeowners.
  
  Over the next five years, the Campaign will help an additional 50,000 families attain homeownership, while helping an additional 50,000 residents with the support needed to remain in and improve their homes.Homebuyer education, which enhances the long-term success of homebuyers, will be provided to more than 500,000 families during the next phase of the Campaign, Lazar told the committee.
  
  Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, Neighborhood Reinvestment is a national, public nonprofit intermediary created by Congress to support and expand revitalization of lower-income communities throughout America.The Corporation founded and supports the NeighborWorks network of 226 community-based nonprofits serving more than 2,300 urban, suburban and rural communities nationwide.These organizations revitalize neighborhoods by mobilizing public, private, and resident-led partnerships and tailoring affordable housing, economic development, and resident leadership activities to meet specific community needs.
  
  The Bush Administration has proposed a $115 million budget in FY 2004 for Neighborhood Reinvestment.Additionally, private-sector investment related to NeighborWorks® activities could top $2.2 billion in FY 2004, generating approximately $18 for every $1 provided through congressional appropriation, Lazar said.

  Speaking before the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee for HUD, VA and Independent Agencies; Neighborhood Reinvestment Executive Director Ellen Lazar said that congressional funding for NeighborWorks organizations provides the needed underpinning for strengthening their communities, transforming resident's lives and bringing more families into the economic mainstream.
  
  "Throughout the Corporation and the NeighborWorks network, we feel an increased responsibility to the concepts of positive action, purposeful change and community-wide commitment that are so critical to our country today," Lazar said.
  ...
  Additionally, private-sector investment related to NeighborWorks activities could top $1.5 billion in FY 2003, generating approximately $15 for every $1 provided through congressional appropriation, Lazar said.
  
  Lazar's testimony cited several examples of innovative strategies used by NeighborWorks organizations to address a range of community revitalization needs, including expanded homeownership opportunities and the development of affordable mixed-income rental housing.
  
  Federal funding in support of homeownership through the NeighborWorks Campaign for Home Ownership has produced remarkable results in the course of the five-year initiative, said Lazar.
  ...
  "These multifamily properties are critical to the mixed-income housing stock serving families under 30 percent of local area median income," Lazar told the panel. Funding for NCC, which included an initial $1.8 million investment by Neighborhood Reinvestment, will support the production pipeline of mixed-income properties by financing acquisition and preservation of existing properties, Lazar added.
  
  "We are committed to building strong communities," Lazar said.
