Trump Signs Housing Order to Cut Mortgage Costs and Boost Manufactured Homes
President Trump signed an executive order on October 22, 2026, aiming to lower housing costs by reducing mortgage and title insurance expenses and promoting manufactured housing. The order directs the Federal Housing Finance Agency to pilot the cancellation of mortgage insurance for eligible borrowers and expand automated title reviews. It also establishes a multiagency task force to accelerate innovation in manufactured homes, a move timed just before midterm elections amid high interest rates.
