• The building operates at 50% capacity and requires $500 million in deferred maintenance, costing taxpayers over $56 million annually.
• President Trump’s recent executive order rescinded prior restrictions on agency relocations, promoting moves to lower-cost facilities outside Washington, D.C.
• HUD Secretary Scott Turner emphasized the agency’s focus on efficiency, accountability, and creating a workplace that supports optimal performance.
• While HUD evaluates relocation timelines and locations, the Washington, D.C., metro area remains a leading contender for its new headquarters.
