Housing and Urban Development

Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is a U.S. government agency focused on creating affordable housing, reducing homelessness, and promoting sustainable communities. It oversees programs and policies that help people find safe, decent places to live and improve urban areas through development and revitalization efforts. HUD also enforces fair housing laws to prevent discrimination and allocates funding for housing projects, community development, and disaster recovery. Its goal is to ensure that all Americans have access to quality housing and live in vibrant, equitable neighborhoods.
