## Resource

- Filmed 2/10/26 - On this episode of Fresh Freedom, we sit down with Hayden DuBois of the Foundation for Government Accountability to break down why homeownership is slipping out of reach for so many Americans. We talk about the real size of the housing shortage, how burdensome regulations are adding to the cost of new homes, and how rising healthcare expenses are crowding out families’ ability to afford a mortgage. We also dive into capital gains reform, mortgage portability, federal land sales, foreign buyers, and practical policy solutions that could actually move the needle.
