HUD Task Force Recovers $1.9 Billion in Misplaced Funds and Identifies $260 Million in Savings

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's new DOGE task force, launched under Secretary Scott Turner, aims to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse while maximizing taxpayer efficiency.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) discovered $1.9 billion in HUD funds misplaced during the Biden administration, now recovered and available for Treasury use.
HUD Secretary Scott Turner announced the creation of an internal DOGE task force to examine agency spending and improve budget efficiency.
The task force has already identified $260 million in savings, with further efforts underway to address waste, fraud, and abuse.
DOGE's broader initiatives include canceling wasteful contracts and grants across federal agencies, resulting in significant taxpayer savings.
DOGE has also issued directives to state education departments to phase out DEI programming or risk losing federal funding.
