VERBATIM: The Harris and Trump campaigns have laid out plans aimed at boosting home construction. GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump says he would give tax incentives for homebuyers and cut “unnecessary” regulations on home construction, among other moves. Harris says she would also give tax incentives to build 3 million additional homes and rentals, and $25,000 in down-payment assistance for first-time homebuyers.
