Marcia Fudge

The definition of infrastructure has evolved-- and that, indeed, housing is infrastructure.

I am committed-as I know this Administration is committed-to working with Congress to create millions of good jobs.

The American Jobs Plan would achieve this goal by prioritizing efforts to address our nation's severe shortage of affordable housing.

I do not know where my Republican colleagues live if they do not think that there is not a problem, but there is.

Joy, anyone who would say that people in need are less important than those who have much, which is what Dave Yost is saying, we don`t want to help people who need help, we want to help people who don`t need any help.

Well, let me just say this, Joy -- as a lawyer, what I know is that fair housing is the law. It is the law of the land.

As a result of the American Rescue Plan, HUD can do an awful lot. In this bill, people are talking about the $1,400 checks going to families and children, but there is 40 billion, 4-0, billion dollars in this legislation for housing…

My first priority as secretary would be to alleviate debt crisis and get people the support they need to come back from the edge.

If confirmed, I will direct my staff to work with CDC to look for ways to strengthen their moratorium.

I believe I am up to the challenge that is before me.

We have to get rid of this notion of 'not in my back yard.'

If confirmed, I will direct my staff to work with CDC staff to provide public outreach regarding the moratorium.

We need policies and programs that can adapt to meet your unique housing challenges, and I would very much like to work with each of you to find the right answers for your States.

Certainly HUD's mission is to provide housing, low-income and affordable housing.

The Trump administration made the moratorium as weak as possible--the order allows landlords to file eviction proceedings.

That mandate matters a great deal to me.

I believe that just as Congress has chartered these GSEs, it is Congress' ultimate decision as to how they should be handled.

I have always been able to work across the aisle. I have a reputation that shows my bipartisanship.

Having no decency, no honor, no integrity, and as a disgrace to the Nation.

Our housing issues do not fit into a cookie-cutter mold, and I know that the same is true in each of your States.

Tim Scott clearly is a fine, upstanding Senator, and I do believe he cares.

The economic costs are in the trillions. It is an economic deterrent to not have people in housing.

The cost of homelessness is just skyrocketing. It was bad before we ever addressed COVID.

I will take seriously, of course, opportunity zones.
