Talk Show Host, Author and Entrepreneur Deborrah Gilbert Empowers Families to Own Homes, Build Wealth, Revitalize Communities

Gilbert's Welcome HOME Report Talk Show, Workshops and Web Tools Help Those with Limited Resources and 'Challenged' Credit Remove Obstacles to Homeownership

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Can homeownership education today help create vibrant communities tomorrow? Absolutely, says Deborrah "Dee" Gilbert, creator of Welcome HOME Report.com(TM) (http://www.welcomehomereport.com/) and host of "Welcome HOME Report with Deborrah Gilbert" on Time Warner Cable Television.

Gilbert has the experience to back up her theory. A veteran of real estate investing and homeownership education, she is the owner of Deborrah Gilbert Realty in Los Angeles and founding facilitator of the "How to Own Your Own Home and Build Wealth" workshops, where she translates the homeownership process into a language everyone can understand and enjoy. Gilbert is also the founder and executive director of the Moretta Community Development Corporation, a community-based organization that provides pre- and post-purchase home buyer education, credit counseling and related services to families of modest means.

"Over and over we see communities revitalized when people step up from renting to owning," Gilbert explained. "When families have the information and resources they need to position themselves for successful homeownership, the entire community benefits. Pride of ownership is evident, property values are increased, and neighborhoods experience greater stability."

But becoming a homeowner can be confusing for anyone, so on television and online, Gilbert focuses on empowerment. "Welcome HOME Report with Deborrah Gilbert" (HOME stands for Home Ownership Mentoring and Education) profiles real-life homeowners and investors who have overcome various challenges to buying and selling homes, then connects viewers to resources and helps bridge the knowledge gap in homeownership education, financial literacy, foreclosure prevention and wealth building.

Welcome HOME Report.com picks up where the show leaves off, with a full library of special reports on topics like avoiding predatory lending, preventing identity theft, maintaining a home on a budget, and running a home- based business. "Dee's Online Journal" (http://www.welcomehomereport.blogspot.com/) gives visitors additional insight into show topics. The Welcome HOME Report.com Resource Center provides reliable resources for building good credit, choosing a mortgage company and finding a home. Welcome HOME Report.com even offers solutions for homeowners faced with unexpected financial difficulties.

Site visitors can also join the free Welcome HOME Club to receive updates, member discounts and alerts from the site's Credit Resource Cafe, along with a subscription to the Welcome HOME Report newsletter.

Gilbert's passion for helping families realize the dream of homeownership stems from her own life experience: She went from being a recipient of public assistance to being a successful entrepreneur, talk show host, and author of two books, "How to Own Your Own Home and Build Wealth" and "The Courage to Succeed" (due out next year).

"I get tremendous joy out of watching clients pursue and accomplish the dream of becoming homeowners, especially if they once felt that limited cash resources and 'challenged' credit prevented them from ever accomplishing their goals," said Gilbert. "'Homeownership education today. Vibrant communities tomorrow.' That's more than a show sign-off statement. It's my personal affirmation and vision statement. It is my purpose."
