  • Former NFL Player and Texas Legislator Poised to Reshape US Housing Policy as New HUD Secretary
    2025/06/01
    Scott Turner has become a prominent figure in the national conversation around housing policy following his recent confirmation as the 19th Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. His confirmation by the United States Senate took place on February 5, 2025, through a 55-44 bipartisan vote. Turner was sworn in by Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas, marking a significant milestone as he becomes the only African American member of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet at this time.

    Turner enters this pivotal role at a time when the country faces severe housing challenges. He has openly described HUD as having failed at its most basic mission, vowing to refocus the agency on supporting strong, sustainable communities and providing quality, affordable homes, particularly for the most vulnerable Americans. His approach is underscored by a philosophy that reducing regulatory barriers is essential for making homeownership more accessible, and he emphasizes the role of housing as a foundational element of the American Dream.

    In addressing the current crisis, Turner has highlighted the urgent need to act, stating that “we have a housing crisis in our country.” Early in his tenure, he has already announced major staffing and program changes, reflecting a broader trend within the Trump administration to streamline and tighten federal agencies’ operations. Turner is expected to oversee significant cuts to HUD’s multibillion-dollar budget and revamp key programs, including affordable housing vouchers and assistance for unhoused individuals.

    Turner’s focus on self-sufficiency is evident in his public statements, where he frames employment and opportunity as central to restoring dignity. He has argued that public assistance should be a temporary support, not a permanent way of life, suggesting an emphasis on policies that encourage work and economic mobility. This perspective aligns with his past legislative record in Texas, where he supported measures granting landlords the right to refuse tenants using federal housing assistance and opposed bills expanding affordable rental housing and studying homelessness among vulnerable populations.

    Before his cabinet appointment, Turner was known for his leadership in the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council, dedicating efforts toward the Opportunity Zones Initiative, which aimed to revitalize economically distressed areas. His background is diverse: he is a former NFL player, entrepreneur, and associate pastor, with a strong influence from his Christian faith. Turner has represented the 33rd District in the Texas House of Representatives, and his roots as a lifelong Texan shape his perspective on public service.

    As HUD Secretary, Turner’s responsibilities extend to ensuring housing policies are both effective and equitable, addressing homelessness, and advocating for resources to support communities nationwide. His nomination has prompted a call from advocacy organizations for solutions grounded in evidence and collaboration, as the nation’s affordable housing shortage and homelessness crisis demand urgent and innovative responses.

    Turner’s bold vision, rooted in both fiscal conservatism and a belief in personal empowerment, signals a period of substantial change for HUD. The months ahead will reveal how his policies and leadership reshape the department’s role in tackling America’s housing challenges.
