Biden To Nominate New Housing Chief As Fudge Departs

President Biden travels to South Carolina

President Joe Biden is set to nominate a new chief for the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) following the departure of Marcia Fudge, the White House announced on Tuesday.

Fudge, who previously served as the head of HUD, will be leaving her position to take on a new role as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Her departure has prompted the need for a new nominee to lead the department.

The White House has not yet disclosed the identity of the individual who will be nominated to replace Fudge. However, the administration has expressed confidence in the nominee's ability to continue the work of advancing housing policies and addressing urban development challenges.

During her tenure as HUD chief, Fudge focused on initiatives aimed at expanding affordable housing options, combating housing discrimination, and promoting sustainable urban development practices. Her leadership was instrumental in advancing the administration's housing agenda and addressing critical housing issues across the country.

The upcoming nomination of a new HUD chief underscores the Biden administration's commitment to prioritizing housing and urban development as key policy areas. The nominee will be tasked with building on the progress made under Fudge's leadership and furthering the administration's efforts to create equitable housing opportunities for all Americans.

As the nomination process unfolds, stakeholders in the housing sector will be closely monitoring the selection of the new HUD chief and the individual's policy priorities. The nominee's confirmation by the Senate will be a crucial step in ensuring continuity in HUD's mission to address housing challenges and promote inclusive urban development.
