President Donald Trump has nominated Jonathan McKernan to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), a move that has garnered some relief among industry and consumer advocates seeking stability within the agency. McKernan, a former banking regulator known for supporting bank megamergers, faces scrutiny as the CFPB's future remains uncertain following recent controversies. Concurrently, Trump has also appointed David Keeling, a former safety executive at UPS and Amazon, to oversee the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). These nominations come amid ongoing discussions in Congress regarding affordable housing, with representatives engaging with Habitat for Humanity to address the challenges of low supply and the need for policies that support entry-level homeownership. A recent poll indicated that 74% of New Yorkers support the Faith-Based Affordable Housing Act, highlighting a growing concern for affordable housing solutions in the state.
