Housing and Urban Development


In a Rose Garden service on August 10, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson marked the Housing and Urban Development Act. The Act expanded financing for existing government housing programs, gave lease appropriations to the old and impaired, aided the development of all the more low-pay housing, and gave assets to open works ventures. In his marking comments, he said he accepted the demonstration would "become known as the absolute most important housing enactment in our history."

After a month on September 9, 1965, President Johnson would proceed to sign enactment that would set up the U.S. Branch of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), a bureau level office, to supervise the recently subsidized housing programs. Selected by President Johnson in 1966, Robert C. Weaver was delegated as the principal Secretary of HUD, and turned into the primary African American Cabinet part (Pioneer Educator).

During Weaver's residency at HUD, he is credited with expanding the accessibility of reasonable housing, battling to end housing separation, and propelling a thorough renewal of America's urban focuses. In July 2000, the HUD home office in Washington, D. C., was renamed to respect Weaver.
