19th Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
The American people deserve to afford a home, but mortgage rates are keeping home prices out of reach. We need action from the Fed.
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.
It’s not compassionate to let our homeless brothers and sisters suffer on our streets with no pathway to self-sufficiency. We cannot surrender our cities and citizens to illicit drug-induced disorder without addressing the root cause of substance abuse. @POTUS’ executive order…
NEW: President Donald J. Trump just signed an executive order to restore order to American cities and remove vagrants from our streets. Here is the text of the order: By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it…
Couldn't agree with @SenatorTimScott more.
.@SenatorTimScott: "Americans deserve to become first-time homebuyers. @POTUS has created the best economy in the world. The one thing that would make it better is lower interest rates."
At HUD, we are called to be good stewards of two things: taxpayer dollars and the people we serve. The Atlantic City Housing Authority has neglected that mission. We are taking action to stop negligence and deliver a safe environment for tenants.
Among the thousands of wins in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, @POTUS brought back the Mortgage Insurance Premium tax deduction which lapsed under Biden's watch. This provision will save first-time homebuyers thousands of dollars a year on their taxes.
The Trump administration got our fiscal house in order by slashing regulations across the board, bringing costs down. Now Powell needs to cut interest rates to unleash developers, open up housing supply, and allow our economy to boom.
🇺🇸 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.
🇺🇸 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.
Lord, you are our light in the midst of darkness. We pray you continue to bless this great nation and guide @POTUS’ hand as he leads our country to a brighter, more prosperous future.
🇺🇸 6 Months, 6 Wins The first regulation we tore down was the Obama-era AFFH rule that turned Washington D.C. into a local zoning board, dictating how localities develop their communities.
🇺🇸 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.
Trump is right: Time to cut interest rates washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-amer…
Former Washington Redskins defensive lineman and Super Bowl champ Jason Buck: To see @POTUS get involved in something like that is just fantastic for us... I'm a Native American... and a proud one — and a proud Washington Redskin from the glory days of Joe Gibbs.
I played in the NFL and was drafted by the Washington Redskins. Not the “Washington Football Team” or the “Commanders.” @POTUS is right. It’s time to bring the Redskins’ name back.
