Marcia Fudge<\/a> is now the former secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development<\/strong><\/a> (HUD), having served her final day on Friday, March 22, after announcing her resignation<\/a> just 11 days earlier. Adrianne Todman now serves as acting HUD secretary<\/a>.<\/p>\n In a recently published interview<\/a> with NPR, Fudge was asked why now is the time to step away from the job, particularly as President Joe Biden<\/a> has made housing issues a centerpiece<\/a> of the administration heading into what is likely to be a hotly contested presidential race in the fall.<\/p>\n \u201cOne [reason], of course, is I just want to go home,\u201d Fudge told NPR. \u201cI have been away from home for more than 20 years, and it’s just time to go. [I] have an aging mother [and] family that, really, I’d like to spend some more time with. So it just became time. I feel really, really good[…] about what we have been able to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
