VERDICT · TRUE
The statement refers to rescinding a specific housing mandate (likely a reference to the Biden-era AFFH rule or similar regulatory requirement). Analyses by HUD and housing economists have estimated that such regulatory requirements can add tens of thousands of dollars to housing costs through compliance and development constraints, making the claim consistent with documented cost estimates.

VERDICT · FALSE
Scott Turner is not the Secretary of HUD; he held other roles but never served as HUD Secretary. Additionally, the specific mandate and its cost impact cannot be verified from available sources.
