HUD Plans to Move Operations From Washington to Virginia

The US Department of Housing and Urban Development is relocating its headquarters to a federal building in Virginia, months after the agency’s existing space downtown in Washington was put up for sale as part of a broader effort by President Donald Trump’s administration to consolidate its real estate.

The move, announced Wednesday by Housing Secretary Scott Turner and Virginia’s Republican governor Glenn Youngkin, will bring 2,700 HUD employees across the Potomac River to Alexandria, Virginia, where they’ll work in what’s now the National Science Foundation offices.
