HUD Secretary heads to Birmingham to sell Joe Biden’s $1 trillion agenda
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Marcia L. Fudge will be in Birmingham to promote the Biden-Harris Administration’s Build Back Better agenda. The visit comes after the Senate approved a Joe Biden’s $1 trillion infrastructure plan. The plan includes investments in housing construction and rehabilitation, economic development, and community revitalization. The Build Back Better Plan has goals for subsidies that will enable the construction or repair of more than 1 million affordable rental housing units and funding to build and rehabilitate more than 500,000 homes for low- and middle-income homebuyers. Secretary Fudge will be joined by Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin, Rep. Terri Sewell, and Birmingham Housing Authority President David Northern Sr. The event will be held at 10 am on Wednesday at the Villas at Titusville in Birmingham. Also on the agenda is a roundtable on affordable housing and community revitalization with community leaders and a tour of Southtown Court public housing community at 2:45 pm. Fudge is the 18th Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. She served as U.S. Representative for the 11th Congressional District of Ohio from 2008 to March 2021. She was a member of several Congressional Caucuses and past Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus. I’m so excited to be joining Mayor @randallwoodfin to welcome HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge (@SecFudge) to Birmingham!! Follow along tomorrow as we discuss @POTUS’ plan to invest in affordable housing, revitalize our communities, and #BuildBackBetter!👏🏾 https://t.co/ArkRTIp40K — Rep. Terri A.
