Overview

  • HUD Secretary Scott Turner and Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin announced on June 25 that HUD will relocate into the National Science Foundation’s Alexandria offices.
  • More than 1,800 NSF employees face displacement and have protested the decision amid criticism over the absence of a clear relocation plan.
  • GSA commissioner Michael Peters pledged that the agency will work to secure replacement offices for the affected NSF staff, though no timeline has been set.
  • The AFGE union claims plans include an executive suite, dining room and reserved parking for the HUD secretary—allegations Turner has publicly denied.
  • HUD’s current Robert C. Weaver Federal Building, designated for sale in April, needs nearly $500 million in repairs and was listed as part of the Trump administration’s effort to downsize federal real estate.
