What We Have Accomplished

Recent accomplishments include implementation or initiation of:

• New HUD Childcare Center. Through the General Services Administration, a new childcare center was completed at HUD Headquarters. The new state-of-the-art facility accommodates 76 children, nearly twice as many children as the previous center, covering age groups ranging from infants to four year-olds. The center provides a safe and convenient environment for the children of HUD Headquarters employees and surrounding federal agencies. The facility was designed with an inviting entrance lobby, six age-appropriate classrooms, staff offices, warming kitchen, multiple direct exits, natural light, and infant programs. The new center is located at ground level on the southwest corner of the building.
  
• Headquarters Space Consolidation Plan. Continue work with the General Service Administration (GSA) to prepare a five-year comprehensive plan to consolidate all Headquarters functions and operations in the most cost effective and efficient locations within close proximity of the Robert C. Weaver Federal Building, and to manage the relocation of HUD organizations from the Portals Building to the Potomac Center building.   [Back to top]
