Initiatives

Each Secretary establishes a number of programs, priorities, or initiatives during his or her tenure. These initiatives often have pages or mini-websites dedicated to them. Here are a few of the past initiatives the Department has undertaken in the past.

  • Community Builder Fellowship Program
  • Keep Your Home - Know Your Loan A foreclosure prevention program initiated by Secretary Steve Preston in 2008
  • HUD Next Door
      The HUD NextDoor initiative was created by Secretary Andrew Cuomo. The initiative was launched in 1998 and various pieces lasted until 2009. The initiative had three parts:
    • HUD Next Door Storefronts: New offices located at street level and staffed by Community Builders
    • HUD NextDoor Kiosks [content to be archived approximately January 2010]: (renamed/refocussed in 2002/2003 to Government Information Kiosks) offered basic information and services 24-hours a day at storefronts, and later in malls, shopping centers, libraries, and other places people frequent on a daily basis
    • HUD Answer Machines: (later called HUD Public Computers)--public use computers found in every HUD office with access to HUD's website and websites linked from HUD.
