We don't need this. The solution is to create a regulatory and legal environment that encourages building--not to directly enter the construction market.
There should be legislation to give control over zoning and development regulation to HUD. Building just a quarter of the 2.4 million needed homes will take a minimum of $120 billion. We need some way of forging bipartisan support for fixing zoning regulations. I believe interest rates are coming down as well. If we can act fast, I think this will be a solved problem in a decade
