The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has launched a task force in partnership with Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to scrutinize the spending of taxpayer dollars. This move aligns with President Trump's orders to cut federal workforce numbers. HUD employees will examine budget optimization to improve overall departmental efficiency. Secretary Scott Turner emphasizes a commitment to minimizing wasteful spending and enhancing service delivery to communities, while the announcement coincided with reports of significant layoffs within HUD, raising concerns about potential job impacts.
We are no longer in a business-as-usual posture and the DOGE task force will play a critical role in helping to identify and eliminate waste, fraud and abuse.
The task force will examine how best to maximize HUD's budget and ensure all programs, processes and personnel are working together to advance the purpose of the department.
