Establishing the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud

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.

Removing Regulatory Barriers to Affordable Home Construction

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.
