President Donald Trump has nominated Federal Housing Commissioner Brian Montgomery to serve as deputy secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), a position in which he would have many of the same responsibilities he currently assumes as HUD’s assistant secretary and head of the Federal Housing Administration (FHA).
Numerous industry trade associations applauded Montgomery’s nomination, as they did when he was nominated to lead FHA in 2017.
