19th Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
Joined February 2025
Unlike some reporters, I've met people in public housing and have seen what years of dependence on the government can do to a family. Our mission is to grow people, not government, and get able-bodied, able-minded people to a life of self-sustainability.

.@POTUS’ OBBB is restoring prosperity to millions of Americans by providing crucial tax relief — including a tax deduction for mortgage insurance premiums (MIPs). Homeowners can now keep more of their hard-earned dollars while pursuing the American Dream.

During my time in Idaho, I met Heidi — a mother who experienced homelessness, entered HUD-funded housing, and is now ready to achieve the American Dream of homeownership through the Self Help Housing program. Heidi’s story should be the expectation, not the exception. For

Everyone deserves to feel safe in their homes, on their streets, and around their community — especially in our nation’s capital. Thank you @POTUS and @AGPamBondi for cleaning up our streets and restoring LAW & ORDER!.
We’ve now made a total of 630 arrests and seized 86 illegal guns in DC. 53 arrests were made yesterday, plus 24 ICE arrests and 10 guns taken off the streets. Our incredible @USMarshalsHQ even helped recover a missing child. Our mission to make DC safe again isn’t slowing down.

Government is not meant to be a micromanager-in-chief, burdening Americans with pyramids of red tape. Instead, public-private partnerships create projects like the Wilson Station Apartments — engaging local stakeholders and opening pathways to the American Dream.
The Wilson Station Apartments are a result of public-private partnerships formed by local stakeholders in Boise, Idaho, not Washington D.C. @SecretaryTurner joined the ribbon cutting ceremony for the future site of 102 affordable apartment units for low-income individuals.

Boise, ID faces rising rents due to a lack of affordable housing supply. The solution to this problem is simple common sense: “Build, baby, build.”. Opportunity Zones, cemented and amplified by @POTUS’ OBBB, will expand the paths to affordable housing for all Idahoans.

Following @POTUS’ Executive Order Designating English as the Official Language of The United States, HUD will solely use English for all Departmental business and services. We are one people, united, and we will speak with one voice and one language to deliver on our mission.

Addressing the housing supply shortage will take innovative ideas — exactly like Self Help Housing in Idaho. By putting in the "sweat equity," families do not have to pay a down payment and can move into their new homes with an instant equity of generally $40,000 to $60,000.
Self Help Housing is a program of South Central Community Action Partnership (SCCAP). It is a group method construction program where 4-10 families come together under the guidance of a Construction Supervisor employed by SCCAP to build their own homes. Families provide 65% of

In 2019, the 2nd South Market turned a former hardware building into Idaho’s first food hall — now home to seven thriving businesses under one roof. When we say the Opportunity Zone legislation is transformative, this is exactly what we mean.

You may wonder why I am so passionate about the Opportunity Zones initiative. It is because Opportunity Zones are a transformative policy, responsible for lifting 1 million people out of poverty and changing the trajectory of thousands of communities across the country.

To resolve the homelessness problem, we are inviting everyone to the table — especially faith-based institutions. These groups are doing the work and offer real solutions to homelessness in their communities.

Putting a roof over someone’s head doesn’t prevent homelessness alone. We need solutions that get people off government subsidies and onto a path of self-sustainability.

The return to RFK Stadium represents a full circle moment for me and the District of Columbia. RFK Stadium is where I started my NFL career with the Washington Redskins and I can’t wait to see its return bring new life to this D.C. Opportunity Zone as HUD Secretary.
