HUD Secretary Scott Turner Launches DOGE Task Force to Eliminate Waste, Fraud and Abuse

WASHINGTON – Today, HUD Secretary Scott Turner cancelled $4 million in contracts promoting “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI). This savings for the American taxpayer was found by the HUD DOGE Task Force and is part of the department’s larger $260 million review of all contract expenditures.

The terminated contracts were intended for “DEI culture transformation,” including outward mindset training and diversity and inclusion research subscription services. This action from Secretary Turner builds on President Trump’s Day One Executive Order that ended radical and wasteful government DEI programs and preferential hiring practices.

“It is inexcusable the American taxpayer was footing the bill for the promotion of DEI propaganda. Not only was this costing millions of taxpayer dollars but it was also wasting valuable time that should have been used to better serve individuals and families in rural, tribal and urban communities. DEI is dead at HUD,” Secretary Turner said.
