Trump names former Texas state Rep. Scott Turner to lead Housing and Urban Development
Briefly

Trump's administration previously attempted significant budget cuts to HUD, which were unsuccessful, with advocates now seeing a more organized agenda moving forward.
Scott Turner, chosen as HUD secretary, previously led efforts that attracted over $50 billion in private investments for Opportunity Zones, demonstrating his capability within economic development.
The current political landscape may facilitate Trump's agenda at HUD, with fewer moderate Republicans to resist proposed deep budget cuts and structural changes.
The transition to Turner's leadership at HUD raises expectations among housing advocates that this administration might implement significant changes to housing and urban development policy.
