Trump Administration and HUD Target Regulatory Fees to Lower Housing Costs
President Trump is directing the Department of Housing and Urban Development to remove regulatory barriers that increase the cost of home construction. According to the administration, burdensome regulations restrict housing supply and raise prices for buyers. This effort includes promoting access to mortgage credit to help more Americans achieve homeownership. HUD Secretary Turner highlighted the financial impact of these rules, noting that regulatory fees add approximately $94,000 to the final cost of a single-family home. The agency plans to reform programs that constrain development to bring down costs and increase the national housing supply.
