Shaun Donovan Hud Appointment
Dear Terry,
In a week when unemployment numbers soared to near-record highs, President-elect Barack Obama’s weekly address focused on crafting solutions that will help hard-working American families and struggling homeowners during this economic crisis.
To put our country and our economy back on track, it will take every part of the Obama-Biden Administration working together to bring about the change Americans need.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development is crucial to that effort. That’s why President-elect Obama has selected Shaun Donovan, a widely respected Housing Commissioner from New York City, to lead this vital agency.
The Housing and Urban Development Secretary must bring a bold, innovative, and efficient approach to the position. Mr. Donovan will reinvigorate HUD with the fresh thinking necessary to protect thousands of American homes threatened by the current financial crisis.
Thank you,
John
