From an #MLKDay trip to the birthplace of Dr. King to the awarding of tens of millions of dollars in equitable COVID-19 relief to Tribal communities, @HUDGov had a productive week.

Follow along! #HUDWeekInReview
Monday, I joined @TheKingCenter to commemorate the life and legacy of Dr. King.

MLK reminded us that “change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle.”

The struggle continues; it starts with us.
On Tuesday, we announced the awarding of more than $83 million in grants to 74 Tribal communities to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. hud.gov/press/press_re…
On Wednesday, we announced disaster assistance for Tennessee and Alaska disaster survivors, from immediate foreclosure relief to assistance with housing discrimination.
.@DepSecTodman and I joined @USMayors at #MayorsDC22 to reaffirm our partnerships with America's mayors and our commitment to working together to help communities recover from the pandemic and deliver results.
Finally, Thursday, we celebrated one year since @POTUS took the oath of office, one year of delivering results for the American people, and one year of taking bold action to create strong, sustainable, inclusive communities and quality affordable homes. hud.gov/press/press_re…

A few months ago, HUD launched House America: An All-Hands-On-Deck Effort to Address the Nation’s Homelessness Crisis.

And with 2022 quickly approaching, I'd be remiss if I didn't thank the mighty team I fight alongside to reduce homelessness in this country.

Follow along:
From HUD's New England region, I welcome Worcester, MA to #HouseAmerica's team. I applaud Boston, MA and the great states of Maine and Vermont for announcing their own sets of goals.

Thank you, @TweetWorcester, @MayorKimJaney, @GovJanetMills, and @GovPhilScott.
From HUD's Region 2, I applaud @rasjbaraka, Mayor of the great City of Newark, for joining the #HouseAmerica initiative and making a commitment to house Newark.

Over the past year, far too many stories recounting the serious and all too frequent problem of racial bias latent in home buying and homeownership have made major headlines.

I say enough is enough. HUD is doing something about it. Follow along: 1/
Every time I see one of these stories, like the story in Marin County, I am reminded why the work we do at @HUDGov to combat appraisal bias through the interagency Property Appraisal and Valuation Equity task force (#PAVETaskForce) is so important. 2/ pressdemocrat.com/article/news/a…
HUD, along with @AmbRice46 and the @WhiteHouse Domestic Policy Council, is taking on these issues from the root.

And early next year, we're planning to put forward a set of actions and recommendations that will help end these discriminatory practices for good. 3/
