Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is advocating for the appointment of Barbara Lee, a California Democrat and progressive leader, as the next secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Bass believes that Lee's bold leadership and extensive experience make her the ideal candidate for the position.
WASHINGTON — Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is urging President Joe Biden to name a fellow California Democrat and progressive stalwart, longtime Rep. Barbara Lee , to be the next secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Bass said in an interview Tuesday. The Cabinet post has been filled on an acting basis by Deputy HUD Secretary Adrianne Todman since March 22, when Marcia Fudge stepped down from the top job. Fudge “played a tremendous role.
Biden has not indicated whom he plans to name as the next head of HUD, which is responsible for federal housing policies and programs including mortgage and loan insurance under the Federal Housing Administration; Community Development Block Grants to aid communities with economic development and housing rehabilitation efforts; and rental assistance through Section 8 certificates or vouchers for low-income families.
