If you look at both of the housing packages, the Housing for the 21st Century Act and the Road to Housing Act, both are really focused on spurring more housing, expanding housing finance options, and modernizing certain government housing programs.

They both want to make it easier to build manufactured housing.

and streamline regulations like environmental reviews that historically have held up housing development and making it easier to build homes.

This has not necessarily been the approach or at least the philosophy behind the proposals that Trump has put forward.

He's dealing with this conundrum of wanting to boost affordability for a first-time homebuyer, but also realizing that that

might require bringing down home values for existing homeowners.

So his dilemma has pushed him to focus on kind of demand-side policies, but Congress is sort of squarely focused on supply-side solutions.
