U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Announces Key Senior Leadership Appointments
WASHINGTON – This week, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced several key leadership appointments. Under the direction of HUD Secretary Scott Turner, Jonathan “Drew” McCall, Todd Thurman, and Reid Wilson will serve in critical senior-level roles ensuring HUD carries out its renewed mission to foster strong communities by increasing access to quality, affordable housing, expanding housing supply, and unlocking homeownership opportunities for all Americans. These appointments follow the swearing-in of Andrew Hughes, former HUD Chief of Staff, as Deputy Secretary.
Drew McCall will serve as HUD’s Chief of Staff. In this role, he will oversee internal operations and collaboration across the Department to ensure HUD continues to serve rural, tribal, and urban communities at the highest standard. McCall most recently served as Deputy Chief of Staff to Secretary Turner. During the first Trump administration, McCall served as Deputy Chief of Staff to Dr. Ben Carson, the 17th Secretary of HUD.
Todd Thurman, former Senior Advisor to Secretary Turner, and Reid Wilson, former HUD White House Liaison, will now serve as Deputy Chiefs of Staff, coordinating cross-agency priorities and leading the execution of the Department’s daily functions. Both Thurman and Wilson also served under former HUD Secretary Carson.
“Our robust team at HUD is stronger than ever,” said Secretary Turner. “Drew, Todd, and Reid have proven track records of exceptional public service. Their devotion to the mission of HUD and innovative skills will help us maximize our operations so we can better serve the Americans who depend on us. I’m grateful and proud of them for answering the call to leadership as we faithfully work to usher in a new Golden Age of Homeownership.”
