Trump Accounts are just the beginning. Young Americans need a path to homeownership

What happened: A former FHA commissioner, writing about enrolling his daughter in a Trump Account, proposes a "Trump Mortgage" program to help first-time homebuyers get lower mortgage rates. Key numbers: Trump Accounts include a $1,000 federal contribution for eligible children born between 2025 and 2028. Why it matters: The author argues the path to homeownership is getting harder for the next generation and frames the mortgage idea as a follow-on to Trump Accounts, citing bipartisan legislation to expand tax-exempt mortgage financing.
