Secretary Turner pushes for more appropriately-sized and financially sound HUD HQ
WASHINGTON — Today, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced the addition of HUD headquarters to the accelerated disposition list in order to engage the market and explore HUD’s relocation options. Currently, HUD is located in the Robert C. Weaver Federal Building near L’Enfant Plaza in Washington, D.C.
HUD headquarters’ addition to the accelerated disposition list will allow the GSA to more effectively right size the federal real estate portfolio to reduce the burden on the American taxpayer while also delivering space that enables HUD to achieve its mission.
The building, which opened in 1968, currently faces over $500 million in deferred maintenance and modernization needs and costs the American taxpayer more than $56 million in yearly rent and operations expenditures. In addition, with every member of HUD staff at its headquarters, the Weaver Building is at half of its total occupancy.
“HUD’s focus is on creating a workplace that reflects the values of efficiency, accountability, and purpose,” said Secretary Scott Turner. “We’re committed to rightsizing government operations and ensuring our facilities support a culture of optimal performance and exceptional service as we collaborate with our partners at GSA to deliver results for the American people.”
This effort aligns with the Trump Administration’s broader strategy to streamline federal operations, eliminate waste, and ensure government workspaces reflect improved standards for performance, efficiency, and morale.
While the timeline and final location are still under evaluation, officials confirmed that the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area remains a top priority.
