Department of Housing and Urban Development

Good stewardship of taxpayer dollars will be restored under the Trump Administration. @SecretaryTurner on rooting out waste and fraud at HUD.

.@SecretaryTurner on President Trump’s Promoting Access to Mortgage Credit Executive Order: “It will increase competition and make it cheaper for people to borrow money — in particular, first-time homebuyers.”

HUD Deputy Secretary Andrew Hughes joined Houston Mayor John Whitmire to tour a new homeless "Super Hub" — temporary, transitional housing with wraparound services to get Houston’s homeless toward a life of self-sustainability.

The road to high housing costs is paved with red tape. President Trump’s Executive Orders slash the regulations that raise housing costs and prevent Americans from accessing the American Dream of homeownership.

Proud to host @HUDgov Deputy Secretary Hughes at 419 Emancipation Ave, Houston’s holistic transition facility serving those experiencing homelessness. A strong example of government working together to deliver real results. A model for the nation.

.@SecretaryTurner: “About $94,000 in regulatory fees when you build a single-family home is the final cost and that’s unsustainable. What we’re doing is bringing down the cost and raising the supply.”

.@SecretaryTurner: “[Housing affordability] is an everyday thing for us, it’s utmost priority for the President, for myself and other leaders in the administration.”

.@SecretaryTurner: “About $94,000 in regulatory fees when you build a single family home is the final cost and that’s unsustainable. What we’re doing is bringing down the cost and raising the supply.”

.@SecretaryTurner: “This is a whole of government approach, both federal, state, local, also dealing with the private sector to bring down construction costs, to deregulate burdensome regulations.”

Regulations account for nearly a quarter of the cost of a new single-family home. President Trump’s Executive Order will cut costs and streamline the building process —critical for increasing housing supply across the country.

Secretary Scott Turner Applauds President Trump for Cutting Red Tape, Restoring Housing Affordability, and Increasing Access to Home Loans “Homeownership is the bedrock of the American Dream, but that foundation crumbled under the Biden administration as red tape made building homes and securing mortgages increasingly more expensive. President Trump’s Executive Orders will help HUD deliver on his promise to provide economic relief to American families and make homeownership affordable again. Ending burdensome regulations and improving mortgage affordability supports increased housing supply and pushes affordable homeownership back within reach for American families.” - @SecretaryTurner

Removing Regulatory Barriers to Affordable Home Construction whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…

Burdensome regulations add cost; both during construction and as a result of restricted housing supply. Per this Executive Order, HUD will seek to eliminate burdensome rules and reform programs that constrain residential development and housing affordability.
