“President Trump’s two executive orders today aimed at removing barriers to affordable home construction and promoting access to mortgage credit demonstrate that he’s serious about tackling the housing costs facing American families. These actions target some of the most costly regulatory burdens that add thousands of dollars to the price of new homes for middle-class families.

We appreciate the broad, comprehensive scope of these orders, covering federal and state regulations affecting land development, building construction, and home financing. Housing is a complex, heavily regulated industry, and such a comprehensive approach is exactly what we need to help deliver the American Dream to families across America.

We look forward to working with federal agencies across the government to implement these changes as quickly as possible.”
