Why Trump's pick for HUD secretary is likely to exacerbate the housing crisis
"As far as federal agencies go, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development doesn't get a ton of attention in the news. It makes sense then that Donald Trump's pick to head it, former Trump administration official and former Texas state lawmaker Scott Turner, didn't attract the same level of scrutiny as many of the president-elect's other head-turning picks.
But Turner's background underscores how poor of a choice he is for an agency tasked with keeping many of America's most vulnerable people housed. Turner's hard-line right-wing positions on housing policy foreshadow how he's likely to undermine the purpose of the agency he's been picked to head. It's a reminder of how Trump's campaign promises to address cost of living grievances were a charade.
Turner's record shows a commitment to oblique and often ineffective programs to help the poor.
The point of HUD is to help Americans meet their housing needs through, among other things, rental assistance for low-income households, mortgage insurance and combating housing discrimination. Its very premise is that the government has a serious role to play in the housing market. But Turner's record shows a commitment to oblique and often ineffective programs to help the poor and, in some cases, outright opposition to assisting them."
