agree not to sell the homes
within three years to avoid
“flippers” or speculators.
To illustrate the success
of the Boardman program,
Parker related the story

ConAgra foods in Board-
man for six years. The
woman took the homebuyer
education class and then
purchased a home through
the program.
“She came up and
hugged me and said there
was no way she could have
purchased a home without
taking the class,” Parker
told the board. “So we re-
