[[File:FairHousing.HUD .jpg|right|FairHousing.HUD .jpg]]The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) was born on September 9th, 1965, catapulted into being by then-President Lyndon B. Johnson.
Since its inception, HUD has had an unparalleled impact in the United States on housing generally and affordable, fair housing specifically, community development, and homelessness.
Line 8:
HUD was preceded by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) signed into being by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1934, as part of his “New Deal”, as well as the Truman Administration’s Housing and Home Financing Agency.
In the 1930s and 1940s, the United States government, for better or worse, had taken a direct role in creating and managing affordable housing. In conjunction with HUD and Congressional legislators, in 1968, Johnson set HUD on a path of overseeing and regulating affordable housing largely created by and managed by the private sector - a shift that has greatly influenced housing development in the United States.
