                Proclamation 9900 of May 31, 2019

                
National Homeownership Month, 2019

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                During National Homeownership Month, we acknowledge the 
                benefits of sustainable homeownership. Homeownership 
                continues to be an important option for many Americans 
                to invest in their communities, build wealth, and 
                achieve the American Dream.

                My Administration's economic policies have helped spur 
                a booming economy, in which nearly 6 million new jobs 
                have been created and wages are rising at the fastest 
                rate in a decade. We have slashed more than 30,000 
                pages of job-killing regulations from the rule book 
                that had been constraining economic growth, and my Tax 
                Cuts and Jobs Act has put more money into the pockets 
                of American workers. These successes have led to more 
                opportunities for Americans to become homeowners, and 
                we are committed to building on them by continuing to 
                work with State and local governments to remove 
                burdensome and unnecessary regulations that restrict 
                development and artificially raise housing costs.

                To offer the opportunity for more sustainable 
                homeownership to a greater number of Americans, we must 
                also reform our Nation's housing finance system. 
                Earlier this year, I signed a Presidential Memorandum 
                instructing the Secretaries of the Treasury and Housing 
                and Urban Development to construct a plan on reforming 
                the housing finance system to promote competition in 
                the housing finance market that will also preserve the 
                30-year, fixed-rate mortgage for qualified homebuyers. 
                These reforms are critical to improving access to 
                sustainable mortgages and to maintaining responsible 
                support for homeownership and for building wealth.

                This month, we reaffirm our commitment to empowering 
                more Americans with the opportunity to take the 
                important step of becoming homeowners. By keeping taxes 
                low, continuing to remove burdensome and unnecessary 
                regulations, and making much-needed reforms to the 
                housing finance system, we will open doors to 
                sustainable homeownership to more Americans and their 
                families.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the 
                United States of America, by virtue of the authority 
                vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States, do hereby proclaim June 2019 as National 
                Homeownership Month.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
