WASHINGTON, Oct. 2 - The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) has launched a Spanish-language version of its popular Internet web site that provides details about the $7,500 first-time home buyer tax credit approved by Congress in late July.

To access the Spanish-language version of NAHB's tax credit site, go to www.FederalHousingTaxCredit.com or to www.NAHB.org and follow the link to the Spanish-language site. 

"The tax credit provides a once in a lifetime opportunity for first-time home buyers," said NAHB's 2008 Chairman of the Board Sandy Dunn, a home builder from Point Pleasant, W.Va. "However, the tax credit is temporary, and only homes purchased on or after April 9, 2008 and before July 1, 2009 are eligible. That makes it imperative that we get the word out to as many people as possible so they can take advantage of this outstanding opportunity."
