flag Trump admin proposes using 401(k) funds for home down payments to boost homeownership.

flag The Trump administration plans to announce a proposal at the Davos World Economic Forum allowing Americans to use 401(k) funds for home down payments, according to White House adviser Kevin Hassett. flag The plan, which aims to boost homeownership amid high mortgage rates and home prices, may permit using a portion of a home’s equity to replenish retirement accounts. flag It is part of broader efforts including directing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to buy $200 billion in mortgage-backed securities and restricting institutional investors from buying single-family homes. flag While the initiative seeks to improve affordability, experts warn it could jeopardize retirement savings and may not address underlying supply shortages. flag Details on penalties, taxes, and implementation remain unclear.
