Housing Secretary Fudge resigning. Biden hails her dedication to boosting supply of affordable homes

Housing and Urban Development Deputy Secretary Adrianne Todman will serve as acting secretary when Marcia Fudge's resignation takes effect March 22. The White House says President Joe Biden will nominate a permanent replacement for Fudge as secretary but has offered no timeline. Fudge is a former Ohio mayor and congressional representative. Fudge says she’s leaving HUD “with mixed emotions" after serving as secretary since the start of Biden’s administration. Biden lauds Fudge's “contributions toward a housing system that works for all Americans.” The president of the National Housing Conference calls Fudge a steadfast advocate for equitable housing policies.
