Why This Matters

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will purchase $200 billion in mortgage-backed securities to lower borrowing costs and promote homeownership.

This move aims to make it easier for families to afford homes by reducing mortgage rates.
Young Americans, hardworking families, and prospective homebuyers will benefit from these changes.
What You Need to Know

In June 2026, the President announced a commitment to making housing more affordable during National Homeownership Month. Key actions include directing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to purchase $200 billion in mortgage-backed securities, which is intended to lower borrowing costs for homebuyers. Additionally, the administration is enforcing measures to prevent large institutional investors from buying single-family homes, ensuring that more houses remain available for families rather than corporations.

This initiative addresses a housing affordability crisis that has worsened due to rising home prices, high mortgage rates, and the influence of institutional investors in the market. The administration aims to restore access to taxpayer-sponsored loans for law-abiding citizens while blocking illegal immigrants and fraudsters from taking advantage of housing programs. By promoting these reforms, the government seeks to protect the American Dream of homeownership for hardworking families.

Looking ahead, the administration is urging Congress to pass the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which would solidify these reforms. The focus remains on ensuring that homes are owned by families rather than corporations, with ongoing efforts to enhance affordability and accessibility in the housing market.

NATIONAL HOMEOWNERSHIP MONTH, 2026

Proclamations

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

A PROCLAMATION

During National Homeownership Month, my Administration recommits to making housing more affordable so that young Americans and hardworking families can raise children, build memories, and create a future in a home of their own.

For too long, reckless spending, burdensome regulations, and failed housing policies drove up home prices and mortgage rates while mass illegal immigration and large institutional investors strained the housing supply.  The result was a housing affordability crisis brought on by the failed leadership of the previous administration.  Now, under my leadership, my Administration is fixing the mess we inherited and restoring the American Dream of homeownership. 

From the first day I returned to office, I proudly signed an Executive Order to deliver price relief to Americans crushed by the left-wing cost-of-living crisis — launching a bold new era of progress on supply, affordability, and opportunity for every hardworking family across our country.  My Administration is working to restore integrity to Federal housing programs by ensuring taxpayer-sponsored loans once again reach the law‑abiding citizens who truly need them, not illegal aliens and fraudsters who rob Americans of more affordable housing options.  I have also directed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to purchase $200 billion in mortgage-backed securities to further drive down borrowing costs so that more of our citizens can achieve homeownership. 

Earlier this year, I took unprecedented action to ban large institutional investors from purchasing single-family homes, keeping more houses available for American families, not corporations.  Through the Stopping Wall Street from Competing with Main Street Homebuyers Executive Order, we put prospective homebuyers back at the front of the line, directing Federal agencies to block big corporations from using Government-backed resources to outbid responsible homebuyers and unleashing the full power of antitrust enforcement to stop corporate giants from manipulating rents and pricing families out of their own neighborhoods.  I call on the Congress to make these reforms permanent and pass the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act — the most comprehensive and consequential housing legislation in the history of our country. 

The victories we have achieved for American homeowners and homebuyers are unprecedented, and my Administration will never stop fighting to protect and expand them.  Under my leadership, America will be a Nation where homes belong to families — not corporations — and we will never rest until the full promise and prosperity of this great Nation is felt by every hardworking citizen in a home they can proudly call their own.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2026 as National Homeownership Month.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twelfth day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fiftieth.

                              DONALD J. TRUMP
