Today we’re diving into what might just be the biggest shift in U.S. housing policy in decades.
You’ve heard the headlines: affordability crisis, record-low inventory, buyers and sellers stuck in place. Now the Trump administration is signaling it may declare a national housing emergency—and they’re coming at the problem from every angle.
We’re talking about freeing up federal land, trimming junk fees, rethinking mortgages for multigenerational families, exploring rate transfers, even restructuring Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
In short, they’re calling it a plan to ‘Make Housing Great Again.’ Whether you agree or not, these moves could shape the housing market for the next 20 years.
So buckle up—today we’ll walk you through 10 bold proposals, what they mean for you as a real estate professional, and how to stay ahead of the curve.”
The goal? To “make housing great again” and even usher in what some advisors are calling a “new golden age” for U.S. housing. Below are ten major levers being discussed, what each could do in practice, and the biggest questions to watch.

1️⃣ 🏛️ The “Housing Emergency” Frame—Using the Bully Pulpit to Move States & Cities
-
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has said the administration is weighing a national housing emergency this fall to spotlight affordability and supply.
-
His line: “We’re trying to figure out what we can do, and we don’t want to step into the business of states, counties, and municipal governments.”
-
The federal government can’t rewrite local zoning, but the bully pulpit plus carrots (grants, tax credits, fee waivers) can push reform at the city/state level.
Why it matters
-
Most housing policy (zoning, permitting, fees) is local.
-
A White House megaphone can accelerate change—especially if tied to funding or regulatory flexibility.

To clarify
-
Under the 1976 National Emergencies Act, the President can declare a national emergency at his discretion.
-
The act requires a formal declaration (e.g., executive order) and citation of the statutory powers to be used.
2️⃣ 🌄 “Unlock the Dirt”: Auction Some Federal Land for Housing (and How To Buy It)
-
AEI Housing Center (Edward Pinto) proposes auctioning roughly 850 square miles of federally owned land for housing—~3 million single-family sites—“Homesteading 2.0.”
-
Parcels are largely BLM tracts near fast-growing Western metros (e.g., Las Vegas Valley/Clark County, NV).
Recent BLM sale examples
-
Mar 2025—Las Vegas Valley: BLM sold 8 parcels (41.85 acres) via SNPLMA for $16.6M, above appraisal.
-
Dec 2024—Clark County, NV: BLM proposed 11 parcels (89.35 acres) via modified competitive sale, auctioned online.
-
Oct 2024—Affordable housing carve-out: BLM conveyed 20 acres to Clark County at $100/acre for ~210 homes.

How to buy at auction
-
Notice: Published in the Federal Register + BLM site.
-
Bidding: Competitive/modified competitive, often via EnergyNet.com.
-
Due diligence: Buyers must comply with access, utilities, environmental checks.
-
Closing: High bidder pays; BLM issues patent/deed.
-
“Nobody’s living there today. That’s something the federal government could do to add supply,” Pinto said.
3️⃣ 🏗️ Fast-Track Permitting & Light-Touch Zoning—Where It’s Working Now
-
Houston, TX: Largest U.S. city without zoning; new pilot aims to approve SFH permits in ~30 days.
-
New Rochelle, NY: Form-based code + 90-day approvals → 4,500 units built, 6,500 more planned, with minimal rent growth.
-
Portland, OR: “RIP/RIP2” legalized middle housing; 1,400+ ADU/middle-housing permits in 3 years.
Lesson
-
Lighter zoning + faster approvals = more units.
-
The federal role: amplify, incentivize, and reward reform cities.
