HUD Continues with Multifamily Consolidation Plan

Ben Metcalf, deputy assistant secretary, Office of Multifamily Housing, announced HUD will be retaining Multifamily staff in Minneapolis and Baltimore within the HUD reorganization.  These offices will provide additional geographic coverage and support for critical Multifamily work in the New York and Chicago regions, the two largest regions in terms of staff and workload in the future model. The Minneapolis office will be a satellite of the Chicago Hub and the Baltimore office will be a satellite of the New York Hub.  Baltimore provides additional geographic coverage in Federal Region III and has the largest Production workload of the four current hubs in the future New York region. 

In addition, HUD will be training one Field Policy & Management HUD staff member in each consolidating location to ensure they sustain close ties to our communities, lenders, and other stakeholders as HUD Multifamily staff relocate.  These liaisons will facilitate close communication with Multifamily staff in the Hub and satellite offices.

LeadingAge New York will continue to discuss with Teresa Bainton, the director for Federal Region III, the impact to New York Multifamily providers.
