华盛顿讯——特朗普总统周三取消了原计划举行的标志性住房负担能力法案签署仪式。该法案以压倒性两党支持在国会获得通过，特朗普表示，在议员们通过一项名为《拯救美国法案》的选举改革法案之前，他不会将该法案签署为法律。
特朗普原本计划在国会山的一场活动上签署这项名为《21世纪住房之路法案》的法案。这项数十年来最全面的住房立法，旨在增加住房供应并降低成本，其中包括限制机构投资者购买特定的独栋住宅。
“今日的住房新闻发布会及签署仪式即日起取消，直至我们通过迫切需要的《拯救美国法案》——我认为这是一项全国性紧急事务，”他写道。“感谢各位对此事的关注！DJT 总统”
根据美国宪法，若国会参众两院均已通过某项法案，且国会仍在会期内，总统若在10天内（周日除外）未签署或否决该法案，法案将自动生效。众议院议长迈克·约翰逊对记者表示，总统告诉他，在签署住房法案之前，希望看到《拯救美国法案》的推进取得更多进展。
“他有足够的时间完成签署流程，他打算多利用这段时间，”约翰逊说。“他会在10天的期限内完成签署。”
白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·利夫特直到周二晚间还在宣传这场签署仪式。
共和党议员将这项住房法案吹捧为中期选举前的一项重要政绩，因为住房负担问题是选民最关心的议题。鉴于共和党在参众两院的优势席位都较为狭窄，共和党领导层一直难以通过重要立法，尤其是在众议院。
特朗普原定于周三与国会山的共和党参议员会面，讨论《拯救美国法案》，目前尚不清楚这场午餐会是否仍将举行。特朗普发表声明后，参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩对记者表示，他刚刚得知这一消息，暂无即时回应。
特朗普及其国会盟友要求参议院审议这项选举改革法案，该法案将对选民登记和投票施加严格的新限制。但参议院共和党领导层多次表示，他们没有足够票数通过该法案，也无法修改参议院规则以强行推进。
“他一直执着于我们已在众议院三次通过的《拯救法案》，”内布拉斯加州共和党众议员唐·培根对哥伦比亚广播公司新闻表示。“他一个月前还大力支持这项住房法案，所以现在的批评显得很奇怪。我们已经让参议院版本的法案比他当时支持时更加完善了。”
在更早的一则帖子中，特朗普淡化了这项住房法案的重要性，称其远不及《拯救美国法案》。
“这项以伊丽莎白‘波卡洪塔斯’·沃伦为核心的住房法案，与降低利率甚至《外国情报监控法》相比都无足轻重，与通过《拯救美国法案》相比更是相形见绌，”他写道，此处提到的马萨诸塞州民主党参议员是该法案的主要支持者之一。
众议院于周二晚间以压倒性两党支持通过了这项住房法案，参议院已于前一天通过该法案。参众两院通过该法案经历了数月的两院间拉锯协商。
这项住房法案的内容
该法案包含超过45项条款，其中包括通过移除监管壁垒、简化环境审查流程，以推动保障性住房开发的相关条款。此外还包括：
- 启动试点项目，帮助地方政府将空置商业建筑改造为保障性住房；
- 为预制住宅建设解锁更多联邦资金；
- 废除要求住宅必须安装用于运输的钢制底盘的规定；
- 设立创新基金，支持增加住房供应的社区，并为退伍军人提供住房机会；
- 限制机构投资者购买独栋住宅。
支持者表示，限制机构投资者购买独栋住宅的条款将减少市场竞争，使普通购房者受益。据参议院一名工作人员此前向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露，该限制仅适用于现有独栋住宅，不包括新建住宅，这一例外条款保留了金融企业投资新建住房建设的激励措施。
美国银行全球研究部的分析师数据显示，截至2025年，拥有超过1000套住宅的大型机构投资者总共持有50万套房产，占美国住房存量的0.34%，约占独栋住宅租赁市场总供应量的3%。
但在部分城市，这类投资者的占比要高得多。例如，根据2026年美国政府问责局的分析，佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔市的投资者拥有超过20%的独栋租赁住宅。2018年至2024年间，达拉斯和凤凰城各新增至少1.6万套投资者持有的住宅，同期分别增长177%和114%。
两党政策中心执行副总裁丹尼斯·谢伊表示：“机构投资者在美国所有独栋住宅中的占比并不高，但他们的房产集中在全国部分特定社区，这正是人们担忧的原因。”
这项法案的通过是本届国会罕见的两党合作成果，而本届国会历来以阻挠议事和一系列僵局著称。议员们在政府拨款等最基本的履职事项上都存在争执，而在共和党以微弱优势掌控参众两院的过去18个月里，党派对立的立法占据了主导地位。
在选举年，党派分歧通常更为明显，因此这项法案的通过更显引人注目。
参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默表示，特朗普拒绝签署这项法案，是“逃避一项为数不多的真正能够帮助美国民众的政绩”。
“这项两党住房法案是美国民众期望、引以为傲且迫切需要的成就，”舒默在参议院 floor 上表示。“特朗普却选择逃避。他拒绝签署这项法案。他任性又愤怒，在原定签署仪式前两小时取消活动，显得十分荒唐。”
Trump cancels bipartisan housing bill signing, reiterates demand for SAVE America Act

Washington — President Trump canceled a planned signing ceremony on Wednesday for a landmark housing affordability bill that passed Congress by wide bipartisan margins, saying he will not sign the legislation into law until lawmakers pass an elections bill known as the SAVE America Act.
Mr. Trump was set to sign the bill, known as the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, during an event at the Capitol. The measure, the most comprehensive housing legislation in decades, aims to increase housing supply and bring down costs, including by limiting institutional investors from purchasing certain single-family homes.
“Today’s Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency,” he wrote. “Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT”
Under the Constitution, a bill that has passed both chambers of Congress automatically becomes law if the president doesn’t sign or veto it within 10 days, excluding Sundays, as long as lawmakers remain in session. House Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters that the president told him he wants to see more progress on passing the SAVE America Act before he signs the housing bill.
“He has a window of time before he has to sign a bill, and he’s going to use a little bit more of that window of time,” Johnson said. “He’ll do it within that 10-day window.”
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt advertised the bill signing as recently as Tuesday night.
Republican lawmakers have touted the housing bill as a key accomplishment heading into the midterm elections, as affordability concerns are top of mind for voters. GOP leaders have struggled to pass significant legislation given their narrow majorities, particularly in the House.
The president is also set to meet with Republican senators on the Hill on Wednesday to discuss the SAVE America Act, although it’s not clear if the lunch is still happening. After the president’s post, Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters he just heard the news and didn’t have any immediate reaction.
Mr. Trump and his allies in Congress have demanded the Senate take up the elections measure, which would impose strict new limits on registering to vote and casting a ballot. But Republican leaders in the upper chamber have repeatedly said they do not have the votes to approve it or change Senate rules to push it through.
“He’s fixated on the SAVE Act that we passed three times out of the House,” Republican Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska told CBS News. “He strongly endorsed the housing bill a month ago, so the criticisms now are strange. We made the Senate bill better than when he endorsed it.”
In an earlier post, the president downplayed the significance of the housing bill in comparison to the SAVE America Act.
“The Elizabeth ‘Pocahontas’ Warren centric housing bill, which is of minor importance compared to lower interest rates, and even FISA, pales in comparison to passing THE SAVE AMERICA ACT,” he wrote, referring to the Massachusetts Democratic senator who has been one of the main proponents of the bill.
The House approved the housing bill Tuesday evening by a wide bipartisan margin after the Senate passed the measure a day earlier. Its passage through both chambers came after months of back-and-forth between the two chambers.
What the housing bill does
Among its more than 45 provisions, the bill includes provisions aimed at increasing development of affordable housing by removing regulatory barriers and streamlining environmental reviews. It also:
- Launches a pilot program to help local governments convert vacant commercial buildings into affordable housing;
- Unlocks more federal funding for the construction of factory-built homes;
- Eliminates a rule that requires homes to be built on a chassis, a steel framework used to transport them;
- Creates an innovation fund for communities increasing housing supply and supports housing opportunities for veterans;
- Limits the purchases of single-family homes by institutional investors.
Supporters say the institutional investor limits will cut competition and benefit homebuyers. The restrictions apply to existing single-family homes, not new construction, a carveout that preserves incentives for financial firms to invest in new housing construction, a Senate staffer previously told CBS News.
As of 2025, larger institutional investors — those that own more than 1,000 homes — owned a combined 500,000 properties, accounting for 0.34% of U.S. housing stock and roughly 3% of the total single-family rental supply, according to analysts with BofA Global Research.
Yet such investors are a much larger presence in some cities. In Jacksonville, Florida, for example, investors own more than 20% of single-family rental homes, according to a 2026 U.S. Government Accountability Office analysis. Between 2018 and 2024, Dallas and Phoenix each added at least 16,000 investor-owned homes, up 177% and 114%, respectively, over that period.
Institutional investors “don’t own a large percentage of all the single-family homes in the United States, but it’s concentrated in certain communities throughout the country, and that’s the concern,” said Dennis Shea, executive vice president at the Bipartisan Policy Center.
The legislation’s passage represented a rare moment of bipartisan achievement in a Congress that has been marked by obstruction and a series of stalemates. Lawmakers have feuded over some of their most basic responsibilities, like funding the government, while party-line legislation has been the focus of the previous 18 months under narrow GOP majorities.
The bill’s passage was even more striking in an election year, when divisions are generally more pronounced.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the president is “running away from one of the very few accomplishments that could actually help the American people” by refusing to sign the legislation.
“The bipartisan housing bill was an accomplishment that the American people want, are proud of, and need,” Schumer said on the Senate floor. “Trump runs away from it. He’s not going to sign it. He’s petulant, he’s angry, and he looks ridiculous canceling it just two hours before he’s supposed to sign it.”
