This document details presidential actions regarding nominations and withdrawals sent to the Senate for consideration.

It lists eleven individuals nominated for positions including Ambassador to Australia, Deputy Director of the Office of Management and Budget, Assistant Secretaries across various departments (Health and Human Services, Treasury, State, Commerce), an Inspector General for HUD, and two United States Circuit Judges.

Additionally, the document formally communicates the withdrawal of three previous nominations related to the Department of Labor, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and the Director of the National Park Service.

This Presidential Action establishes the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud within the Executive Office of the President, chaired by the Vice President, to develop and implement a comprehensive national strategy against fraud, waste, and abuse in federally funded benefit programs administered by states.

The order cites extensive fraud in programs like SNAP and Medicaid, often exacerbated by lax state controls and alleged political motivations, and directs the Task Force to mandate minimum anti-fraud standards, improve eligibility verification, coordinate data sharing, and pursue enforcement actions, including examination of withholding funds from non-compliant jurisdictions.

This Presidential Action establishes a policy favoring the reduction of regulatory barriers across federal agencies to lower the costs and speed the process of residential construction, thereby promoting American homeownership.

The order directs components within the Departments of the Army, EPA, Commerce, HUD, Transportation, Agriculture, and Energy, alongside the FHFA and the Council on Environmental Quality, to review and revise existing rules—particularly those related to water permitting, environmental review (NEPA/CWA), building codes, and development mandates—that unnecessarily constrain housing inventory.

Furthermore, it requires HUD to develop best practices for state and local governments to mimic this deregulation and mandates an evaluation of aligning Opportunity Zone incentives to specifically boost single-family home construction.

The President issued an order to reduce regulatory burdens imposed primarily by Dodd-Frank and subsequent rulemakings that have increased compliance costs and reduced participation, especially among community banks, in mortgage origination and servicing.

The action directs various federal agencies, including the CFPB, Federal Reserve, FDIC, and FHFA, to revise rules concerning Ability-to-Repay (ATR), Qualified Mortgage (QM), HMDA reporting, capital requirements, appraisals, and servicing to improve the availability and affordability of mortgage credit, particularly for smaller banks and creditworthy borrowers facing barriers.

This Presidential Action establishes the White House Great American Recovery Initiative (Initiative) to elevate and coordinate the national response to the addiction crisis, which affects 16.8 percent of the population and costs the United States hundreds of billions annually.

The Initiative will be co-chaired by the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Senior Advisor for Addiction Recovery, comprising numerous cabinet-level officials and agency heads.

Its goals include coordinating federal programs, increasing public awareness of addiction as a chronic disease, advising agencies on integrating prevention, treatment, and recovery support across various systems (healthcare, criminal justice, housing), and consulting with state and community partners to advance a national effort toward recovery.

This Presidential Action, issued under the authority vested in the President, aims to stop large Wall Street institutional investors from outcompeting American families for single-family homes, citing high inflation and interest rates as barriers to the American dream of homeownership.

The order directs several federal agencies, including the Departments of the Treasury, Housing and Urban Development, Agriculture, and Veterans Affairs, to issue guidance preventing the facilitated purchase or disposal of single-family homes to large institutional investors, promoting sales instead to owner-occupants.

Furthermore, it mandates reviews for anti-competitive effects in local markets and calls for legislative recommendations to codify this policy permanently.
