Turner, who was confirmed as the 19th HUD Secretary on February 5, 2025, by a bipartisan Senate vote of 55-44, brings a diverse background to the role. Before his confirmation, he served as executive director of the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council during President Trump's first term, where he directed the Opportunity Zone program aimed at stimulating investment in underserved urban areas.
The housing crisis remains a central focus of Turner's agenda. At his confirmation hearing, he acknowledged the severity of the situation, stating, "As a country, we're not building enough housing. We need millions more homes of all kinds." This sentiment was echoed during his recent public appearances, where he has emphasized the need for innovative approaches to address housing affordability and availability challenges.
On May 4, 2025, Secretary Turner released a statement on President Trump's Fiscal Year 2026 discretionary budget, describing it as a "bold budget" that "proposes a reimagining of how the federal government addresses affordable housing and community development." Turner emphasized giving states and localities greater flexibility while consolidating and streamlining existing programs.
Turner's background includes service as a Texas state representative from 2013 to 2017, as well as nine seasons in the National Football League. His confirmation received support from housing industry organizations, including the National Multifamily Housing Council and National Apartment Association, which highlighted his experience in affordable housing development.
The Secretary faces significant challenges in his role, with the U.S. currently experiencing a shortage of 7.3 million affordable rental homes for low-income residents and an 18.1 percent year-over-year increase in homelessness. His approach to these issues will be closely watched, particularly given his previous voting record on housing assistance programs during his time in the Texas legislature.
Secretary Turner continues to be active on social media platforms, sharing updates about his work at HUD. Most recently, on May 14, 2025, he appeared on the Clay and Buck show to discuss his plans for improving America's cities.
