ASHA Joins Housing Coalition in Letter to HUD & DOL Secretaries Requesting They Suspend and Revise the 2023 Davis-Bacon Final Rule

On May 20, 2025, ASHA joined in coalition with national real estate associations in a letter to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner and U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer requesting they suspend and revise the 2023 DOL Davis-Bacon final rule.

In August 2023, the DOL issued a final rule updating the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts (DBRA) regulations, which took effect on October 23, 2023. This rule, titled “Updating the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts Regulations,” significantly revised the prevailing wage determination process used for federally funded or assisted construction projects. 

Addressing the harm caused by the prior Administration’s Davis-Bacon Act of 1931 (“Davis-Bacon Act”) related regulatory efforts will help to increase the nation’s housing supply, eliminate overly complex and unnecessary federal regulations, and maximize taxpayer funding by lowering per-unit delivery costs for federally funded projects. The coalition asks the DOL act to rescind the 2023 final rule and implement reforms to support the development of more affordable housing.
