U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is the federal agency responsible for national policy and programs that address America's housing needs. HUD works to create strong, sustainable, and inclusive communities by expanding access to affordable rental housing and increasing homeownership opportunities for underserved populations. Beyond financial assistance, the agency enforces the Fair Housing Act to prevent discrimination and oversees community development initiatives that revitalize neighborhoods and improve local infrastructure.
