Background
editIn early 2026, the U.S. housing market faced ongoing affordability challenges driven by elevated construction costs, labor shortages, limited housing supply, and higher borrowing costs.[3] In response to these conditions, a housing package aimed at increasing the supply of affordable housing advanced in the United States Senate in March 2026, reflecting broader legislative efforts to expand access to homeownership, particularly for first-time buyers.[4] During the same period, President Donald Trump signed a set of executive orders aimed at increasing housing construction and improving access to mortgages as part of a broader effort to address housing affordability.[5] In March 2026, the United States Senate moved toward passing Executive Order 14394 aimed at increasing housing supply, improving financing options, and easing regulatory constraints on residential construction.[6]
