Biden Tackles Housing Crisis: New Policies to Boost Supply and Affordability
President Biden signs executive orders to address the nation's housing shortage and rising costs, aiming to improve affordability for families across the country.
President Biden has signed a series of executive orders aimed at tackling the ongoing housing crisis in the United States. The orders seek to address both the supply and demand sides of the housing market, with the goal of improving affordability for families across the country.
The pandemic has exacerbated longstanding issues in the housing market, with home prices rising by around 50% since the start of 2020 and rents increasing by approximately 17% in December 2025 compared to December 2019. These dramatic price hikes have made it increasingly difficult for many Americans to find affordable housing, a primary concern for voters.
