The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has launched a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) “task force” that has already identified $260 million in savings, Sec. Scott Turner announced.
Turner, who was confirmed by the Senate as President Donald Trump’s pick to lead HUD on February 5, stated that he was planning to launch the DOGE task force within his agency in a press conference on his first day in office, Breitbart News reported.
The internal task force will be composed of HUD employees who will “examine how to best maximize the agency’s budget and ensure all programs, processes and personnel are working together to advance the purpose of the department,” a Thursday news release stated.
In a video posted to social media, Turner proudly stated they have already found $260 million in savings:
