HUD Sells HQ, Cuts Staff, Relocates
Tap title to read story
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is selling its Washington, D.C. headquarters, a 1968 building needing over $500 million in repairs. HUD cites staff occupying only half the space and aims to reduce taxpayer burden. The move aligns with the Trump administration's broader effort to shrink the federal workforce and office space. While a new location within the D.C. metro area is prioritized, President Trump's recent order allows more flexibility in choosing lower-cost facilities outside city centers.
