If the Senate confirms Scott Turner as secretary for the Department of Housing and Urban Development, he will take over responsibility for America’s largest housing agency at a time when the nation’s home affordability needs are in hyper-focus.

Turner has recently been focused on education policy, but worked on Opportunity Zones under the first Trump administration.

The nomination comes as housing issues persists as a major economic burden, particularly for aspiring buyers or renters struggling to keep up with costs.
