U.S. Treasury Department Proposes Regulations to Boost Affordable Homeownership

The U.S. Department of the Treasury issued proposed regulations to implement Section 1001 of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, aiming to make homeownership more affordable. These regulations restrict large institutional investors from purchasing single-family homes, codifying President Trump's Executive Order 14376. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated the goal is to ensure American families have a fair shot at purchasing homes by increasing housing supply and limiting institutional investor roles.
