Show enumeration name instead of name

I had data binding like this:

ItemsSource="{Binding Source={my:Enumeration {x:Type credit:OccupationCategory}}}"
                      DisplayMemberPath="Description"
                      SelectedValue="{Binding EmplType}"
                      SelectedValuePath="Value"/>

and it worked very well. Make a larger software change, I can no longer have anything that generates an INotifyPropertyChanged event so that the data binding type does not work. Instead, I manually install selectedIndex and build the parameters from the code as follows:

ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource ResidenceOwnershipType}}"/>

which refers to

<UserControl.Resources>
    <ObjectDataProvider x:Key="ResidenceOwnershipType" MethodName="GetValues" ObjectType="{x:Type System:Enum}" >
        <ObjectDataProvider.MethodParameters>
            <x:Type TypeName="credit:ResidenceOwnershipType" />
        </ObjectDataProvider.MethodParameters>
    </ObjectDataProvider>
</UserControl.Resources>

This works in terms of creating list parameters and linking all my data, but I can't get comboboxes to show the description tag in an enumeration instead of the actual text.

I tried something like this:

DisplayMemberPath="Description"

but it was wrong. How should I do it?

EDIT:

My enum:

[DataContract]
public enum ResidenceOwnershipType
{
    [Description("")]
    None = 0,
    [Description("Owns Home Outright")]
    OwnsHomeOutright = 1,
    [Description("Buying Home")]
    BuyingHome = 2,
    [Description("Renting/Leasing")] //Weird order here reflects RouteOne website
    RentingLeasing = 4,
    [Description("Living w/Relatives")]
    LivingWithRelatives = 3,
    [Description("Owns/Buying Mobile Home")]
    MobileHome = 5,
    [Description("Unknown")]
    Unknown = 6
}
