The Department of Housing and Urban Development is the Federal agency responsible for national policy and programs that address America's housing needs, that improve and develop the nation's communities, and enforce fair housing laws. HUD's business is helping to create a decent home and suitable living environment for all Americans, and it has given America's communities a strong national voice at the Cabinet level. HUD plays a major role in supporting homeownership by underwriting homeownership for lower- and moderate-income families through its mortgage insurance programs.
The secretary of the department is appointed by the president with the Senate's approval. He or she directs and supervises all department activities. The undersecretary is the secretary's chief aide. There also are several assistant secretaries.
