住房与城市发展部部长出任预制房屋创新工作组共同主席：行政令要求现代化标准并加快审批
美国住房与城市发展部（HUD）10 月 22 日宣布，在特朗普总统签署行政令后，HUD 部长 Scott Turner 将担任新设的「预制房屋创新工作组」（Task Force on Manufactured Housing Innovation）共同主席。
HUD 介绍，这项题为《降低美国人民住房成本》（Decreasing Housing Costs for the American People）的行政令设立该工作组，目的是以全政府方式推动联邦住房项目现代化，使其适应预制房屋领域的创新。工作组将致力于现代化相关标准与规范，在保证质量的前提下安全地加快全政府范围内的认证与审批，并提供一条替代路径与清晰的监管指引，以扩大优质住房供应。工作组由 HUD 部长与联邦住房金融局局长共同主持，成员包括农业部长、商务部长与退伍军人事务部长。
Turner 部长在声明中表示，特朗普总统本人是建筑商出身，正致力于为美国人民带来更具创新性、更可负担的住房方案；几十年来，房屋建造一直被监管繁文缛节所束缚，预制房屋创新工作组可以通过现代化标准、加快各级政府审批，引领下一代住房。HUD 表示，该部此前已展示过创新如何帮助增加住房供应、让更多人实现拥有住房的目标。
HUD Secretary to Co-Chair Task Force on Manufactured Housing Innovation: Executive Order Calls for Modernized Standards and Faster Approvals
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced on October 22 that, following President Donald J. Trump's signing of an executive order, HUD Secretary Scott Turner will co-chair the newly established Task Force on Manufactured Housing Innovation.
According to HUD, the executive order, titled Decreasing Housing Costs for the American People, established the task force to create a whole-of-government approach to modernizing federal housing programs to accommodate innovations in manufactured housing. The task force will work to modernize standards and codes to safely speed up certifications and approvals across government, and to provide an alternative pathway and clear regulatory guidance while ensuring quality housing supply. The task force is co-chaired by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and includes the Secretary of Agriculture, the Secretary of Commerce, and the Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
Secretary Turner said in a statement that President Trump is a builder who is committing to bring more innovative and affordable housing solutions to market for the American people, and that for decades home building has been crippled by regulatory red tape, while the task force can usher in the next generation of housing by modernizing standards and speeding up approvals across government. HUD said it has previously showcased how innovation can help increase housing supply and unlock the goal of homeownership for more Americans.
