The article reports that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has indicated that President Donald Trump may declare a national housing emergency this fall to address rising housing costs<\/a>. Since taking office, Trump has declared multiple national emergencies<\/a> to expand executive powers<\/a> on issues like immigration, trade, and crime. Bessent spoke at length about the administration’s focus on housing affordability as part of the republican platform for the 2026 midterm elections. He mentioned that while Federal Reserve rate cuts could help ease housing prices<\/a>, further steps-such as standardizing local building and zoning codes, reducing closing costs, and possibly lifting tariffs on construction materials-are being considered. Bessent expressed optimism about a significant economic upswing in 2026, citing new tax benefits like the “No Tax on Tips” provision to support small businesses. A full interview with Bessent is scheduled to appear in the Washington Examiner.
