Leading Builders of America Statement on Housing Supply
October 6, 2025: “On behalf of America’s largest home builders, we are grateful that President Trump shares our commitment to deliver the dream of homeownership to more Americans by working to lower home prices and increase home production. We stand ready to work with him and his team to tackle today’s housing crisis, starting with addressing one of the most fundamental issues: rising land costs and local regulations that make the hurdle of attainable housing even higher before a single ounce of concrete is poured. Builders have long been working to address these matters by advocating for increased density, lower regulations, streamlined permitting, reduction of impact fees, and adoption of more flexible energy codes to make homes more affordable. We applaud the President’s housing team for focusing on these same issues, but they need help from state and local regulatory bodies for real change to happen.”
