You could remove all the arcane laws, regulations, and zoning which make constructing new houses ludicrously expensive. Most people would be perfectly happy to live even in a shoddy log cabin built by them and their family if it meant they would could save those hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars they would've spent otherwise to improve their lives in other ways.

You could disallow corporate ownership of dwellings of any sort, and heavily tax ownership of more than two homes per family unit. You could provide significant tax benefits to lifestyles that approach self-sufficiency, such as people in rural areas that grow their own food. You could mandate a quota of completely remote workers for many industries, encouraging the diffusion of people and opportunities across the country, instead of everyone rushing to expensive cities in hopes of finding work.
