The House Financial Services Committee is focusing on bringing transparency and accountability to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Representative Monica's HUD Transparency Act of 2024 aims to have the Department's Inspector General testify annually before the committee to shed light on agency operations.

HUD Secretary Fudge went 906 days without appearing before our Committee. This is unacceptable. @RepMikeLawler's HUD Accountability Act will put HUD on par with other agencies under our jurisdiction by ensuring the Secretary testifies annually. https://t.co/Pu9Rb2T4K0
