The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) faces potential staff cuts of 50% as a government-wide initiative led by Elon Musk's DOGE task force unfolds. Reports suggest drastic reductions could affect certain divisions by up to 75%. Newly appointed HUD Secretary Scott Turner has set up a task force aimed at eliminating waste and improving efficiency, boasting already identified savings of over $260 million. Meanwhile, Musk's team is closely scrutinizing HUD's budget, reportedly recovering $1.9 billion misallocated during the previous administration.
HUD Secretary Scott Turner has emphasized a new approach to government spending, stating that HUD will be "detailed and deliberate about every dollar spent to serve rural, tribal and urban communities."
Musk's aides, as part of the DOGE task force, have been actively conducting meetings at HUD to meticulously review the department's budget and pinpoint possible layoffs.
