Governor’s Weekly Message: The Value of Affordable, Accessible Housing


DOVER – In his weekly message, taped at the 2012 Governor’s Conference on Housing, the Governor talks about the need to support and facilitate home ownership.

“We have put in place a number of policies and programs to help homebuyers,” said Governor Markell. “As a result, Delaware enjoys the fourth highest rates of home ownership in the country – about 74% compared to the national average of 66%. By ensuring families have a place in Delaware to call home, we are better able to keep individuals, communities and our state moving forward.”

At noon every Friday, the Governor’s office releases a new Weekly Message in video, audio, and transcript form.  The message is available on:
