In her letter to Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, she outlines how President Trump\u2019s tariffs will increase housing costs by driving up the cost of construction materials needed to increase the housing supply and address Nevada\u2019s affordable housing crisis. In the letter, sent before this evening\u2019s expiration of the President\u2019s thirty-day pause on new tariffs, Senator Rosen specifically highlights the role Canadian lumber plays in helping meet the demand to build affordable homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn Nevada and throughout the nation, exorbitant housing prices are putting a strain on already-tight household budgets. At a time when high interest rates and low inventory are driving up housing costs, the need to build affordable homes is growing more acute by the day,\u201d <strong>wrote Senator Rosen.<\/strong> \u201cHowever, it is simply too expensive to build affordable housing in the current high-cost environment. Labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, and fluctuating material costs all drive up construction costs, making it harder to develop housing that is affordable for low- and middle-income families.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCompounding our nation\u2019s housing affordability crisis through the imposition of reckless tariffs would be devastating and must be reconsidered,\u201d <strong>she continued.<\/strong> \u201cTo that end, I respectfully ask that you work with the President to exempt critical construction materials, including lumber, from any tariffs imposed on Canada and Mexico. Doing so will not harm our national security, but will instead invest in the economic security of Americans across the country who are struggling to afford a home in an era of rising costs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The full text of the letter can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/3.3.25-Tariff-Letter-Secretary-Lutnick.pdf\">HERE<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senator Rosen is working to lower housing costs and prevent housing prices from increasing further.
