<div class="input-group col-md-6">

<select class="form-control" asp-for="OwnershipType" 
asp-items="@Html.GetEnumSelectList<Ucfs.LoanPortal.Data.Entities.OwnershipType>
()" data-bind="value :ownershipType">
<option>Select</option>
</select>

<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="form-row">
<label class="col-md-5 col-form-label" asp-for="OwnershipType">Type Of Housing</label>
<div class="col-md">
<span class="form-control-plaintext" data-bind="text: ownershipType"></span>
</div>

if it's return 0 for buying, 1 for Owns, 2 for Renting etc ... it's ok because you can find the associated Enum in javascript, 

you mix c# and knockout here so i think it's hard doing what you want without little trick, 

An easier way, it's to load your enum in the javascript on a format like : Id, Label  then use the option binding https://knockoutjs.com/documentation/options-binding.html,

this => if it's return 0 for buying, 1 for Owns, 2 for Renting etc ... it's ok because you can find the associated Enum in javascript,

In this scenario, the options of the select will be generated on server side.

So when the page is loaded. The select control is already filled with option.

In this case the default Knockout select binding might not work. It expects an 'Options' binding.

Maybe you can use the event binding to handle the change event?

Or 

You can try is to serialize the serverside enum to javascript array then use select + options binding.
