As Trump jettisons its staff, HUD puts its D.C. headquarters up for sale
Briefly

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is planning to relocate to a smaller, less expensive headquarters as part of a broader initiative to reduce federal employment and office space, aligning with the Trump administration's cost-cutting measures. The current building, established in 1968, requires over $500 million in maintenance and is criticized for its aesthetic. HUD Secretary Scott Turner advocates for a workplace that prioritizes efficiency and accountability, amidst changes in federal housing operations and potential challenges due to the building's historic status.
HUD Secretary Scott Turner has described the current building as 'the ugliest building in D.C.' and emphasized a focus on creating a workplace that embodies efficiency and accountability.
The Trump administration is pushing to reduce the number of federal employees and the office spaces they occupy, aiming to decrease financial burdens on taxpayers.
