Dr. Ben Carson, former Republican Presidential Candidate and Neurosurgeon, has been confirmed as the new Housing and Urban Development Secretary (HUD).
HUD, formed by an act of Congress in 1965, is tasked
with implementing federal policies directed at the housing market.
As Secretary, Dr. Carson will have vast power in
regards to the organization and structure of the agency, specifically the field
structure at the local level. Nonetheless, Dr.
Carson’s discretion is bound by the confines
of federal mandates.
As real estate industry professionals, we wish Dr. Ben
Carson much success in his new role.
