We have the strongest economy in the world, but Powell’s refusal to cut rates are keeping mortgage rates near 7% — pricing families out of homes. Lower rates would unleash the economy, ease the housing crisis, and help Americans afford a home.

Powell hiked rates in 2018, choking @POTUS’ strong economy, then sat idle as Biden’s inflation soared. Now in President Trump’s second term, he’s keeping rates high, crushing families. LOWER THE RATE!

🇺🇸 6 Months, 6 Wins In April, we expanded the Tribal HUD-VASH program to support our Native American veterans at risk of becoming homeless. Our veterans sacrificed greatly for our country, and this program helps provide them opportunities for safe and affordable housing.

🇺🇸 6 Months, 6 Wins @POTUS restored common sense and biological truth that there are only two sexes — MALE AND FEMALE. We acted to ensure men are not allowed in HUD-funded shelters for women.

🇺🇸 @SecretaryTurner

🇺🇸 6 Months, 6 Wins Overregulation strangles developers’ ability to build housing and raises costs for the consumer. We struck down 12 burdensome regulations that increased costs.

HUD HQ faces over $500 million in deferred maintenance. By moving we will save the American taxpayer roughly $56 million in annual rent and operations expenditures. Like @SecretaryTurner said, “moving day can’t come soon enough.” foxnews.com/politics/it-wo…

🇺🇸 6 Months, 6 Wins Under the Biden administration, illegal aliens were granted access to HUD programs. We closed the spigot to ensure taxpayer-funded housing programs only benefit American citizens.

🇺🇸 6 Months, 6 Wins After just one week on the job, we uncovered $1.9 billion in “misplaced” funds and started trimming the fat on $260 million in wasteful contracts — including over $4 million in DEI contracts.

The current HUD HQ is falling apart everywhere you turn. I witnessed this firsthand today. It’s not suitable for HUD staff or the people we serve. Moving day can’t come soon enough.

President Trump’s economic policies are working but Powell’s excessively high interest rate is holding us back. Cutting the interest rate would unleash our economy and positively impact mortgage rates — bringing the American Dream of homeownership back within reach.

"Powell is wasting billions of taxpayer dollars on building renovations while Americans struggle to buy homes due to high mortgage rates, which are directly impacted by his refusal to lower interest rates." - @SecretaryTurner foxnews.com/politics/trump…

After the cameras are off and the coverage fades, HUD will still be there to help those affected by the Texas floods. In fact, we are just beginning our mission. Here are a few of the actions HUD is taking to help Texas rebuild in the wake of this terrible disaster.

Thankful for @SecretaryTurner’s leadership in this process and continued dedication to housing supports for youth transitioning from foster care. Important work remains—and so does our shared commitment to children & youth who’ve experienced foster care. #FosteringTheFuture…

The $30m in the FY26 THUD appropriations bill secures housing for young adults aging out of foster care. Thank you, @FLOTUS, for your continued dedication to serving our most vulnerable youth and @rep_stevewomack for securing an additional $5 million for this critical program.

The PAVE task force exemplified government overreach by increasing bureaucracy aimed at addressing so-called systemic biases in the home appraisal process. We disbanded the PAVE task force to cut unnecessary red tape and refocus FHA efforts on serving all Americans.

It took @POTUS 6 months to fix Biden’s inflation nightmare. Inflation is down, wages are up, and the American Dream is back!

An estimated 145,000 households in Mississippi are rent-burdened — meaning more than 30% of their income goes to rent. HUD is working to increase housing supply and drive down costs across the Magnolia State. It was great to speak with MS state leaders about the housing…
