Trump Affordability Programs 12-9-25

In 2025, the Trump White House launched several initiatives focused on affordability, primarily through deregulation, supply expansion, and tackling specific industry costs, including an "Emergency Price Relief" memo targeting housing, healthcare, food, and energy costs; a 10-to-1 deregulation order; the United States Investment Accelerator for large investments; efforts to lower prescription drug prices via "Most-Favored-Nation" pricing; and a "Massive 10-to-1 Deregulation Initiative" to cut existing rules, alongside proposing changes to housing assistance and a new "Make America Skilled Again (MASA)" workforce program.  

Key Affordability Actions & Initiatives in 2025:

Emergency Price Relief (Jan 2025): A Presidential Memorandum directed agencies to cut regulations, lower housing/healthcare costs, expand supply, and eliminate "climate" policies driving up food/fuel prices.

10-to-1 Deregulation (Jan 2025): An Executive Order requiring ten existing regulations to be repealed for every new one issued, aiming to reduce costs and stimulate the economy.

Food Supply Chain Security (Dec 2025): An Executive Order established task forces to combat price-fixing

and anti-competitive practices in the food industry to lower grocery bills.

Prescription Drug Pricing (Nov 2025): Directives to bring U.S. drug prices in line with other developed nations, resulting in deals with manufacturers for lower costs.

Housing Affordability (Nov 2025): Proposals for 50-year mortgages to make monthly payments more accessible, though with higher overall interest.

Investment Accelerator (Mar 2025): An office to speed up large investments ($1B+) in the U.S. by reducing regulatory burdens and expediting permitting.

Workforce & Training (May 2025): The "Make America Skilled Again" (MASA) initiative proposed giving states flexibility to spend federal funds on apprenticeships and skills training.

Budgetary Proposals (May 2025): Proposed cuts and restructuring of some housing assistance programs (like combining five into a block grant) and eliminating others (like LIHEAP for energy assistance) to reallocate funds.

SNAP Changes (Sept 2025): The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" included provisions to change Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) eligibility and benefits. 

These actions reflect a focus on reducing government intervention, boosting domestic production, and targeting specific consumer costs like housing, food, and medicine. 

In 2025, President Trump has launched affordability programs focusing on deregulation, executive actions, and legislative changes. These initiatives aim to reduce costs for Americans. For more information, visit whitehouse.gov.
