Trump issued two executive orders to streamline homebuilding and expand mortgage access via community banks, aiming to boost housing supply and affordability as Congress wrestles with reconciling two bipartisan housing bills. One order targets environmental reviews and energy standards for housing; the other seeks easier compliance for smaller lenders and updates mortgage processes, potentially serving as an off‑ramp if legislative talks stall.
