Developing our public lands is not the answer to America's affordable housing crisis, sources say, but it does provide cover for public land disposal.⁠
⁠
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum says the government is going to fix America’s affordable housing problem by selling off and developing some of its federally-owned public lands. In a Wall Street Journal op-ed that Burgum co-wrote with Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner, the two cabinet members championed the Trump Administration’s new development strategy that was announced Monday. The strategy involves an interagency Task Force that would identify and open “underutilized” federal lands — those overseen by the Department of the Interior — for affordable housing developments. The HUD would pinpoint the areas where affordable housing is most needed, while the DOI would identify the building locations and transfer that acreage to states or localities for development purposes.⁠
