HUD

HUD stands for the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. HUD's mission is to increase homeownership, support community development and increase access to affordable housing free from discrimination. To fulfill this mission, HUD will embrace high standards of ethics, management and accountability and forge new partnerships, particularly with faith based and community organizations, that leverage resources and improve HUD's ability to be effective on the community level.

HUD is dedicated to helping more families, especially minorities, realize the American Dream means owning their own home. Each year, millions of Americans, including low income families, the elderly, individuals with disabilities, homeless men, women and children, and persons with AIDS turn to the Department of Housing and Urban Development for assistance in meeting their housing needs.
