Late Friday, President-elect Trump announced Scott Turner as his pick for Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

“We are thrilled about the nomination of Scott Turner as HUD Secretary,” said MHI CEO Dr. Lesli Gooch. “We appreciated his engagement and attention to innovative housing solutions in his previous role at the White House during President Trump’s first term.  We look forward to working with him again to elevate innovative housing and expand attainable homeownership.”

Turner visited three manufactured homes on the National Mall in 2019 and complimented MHI and the manufactured housing industry for its innovation and creativity. View his full comments in the video clip below.

Scott Turner served as the inaugural Executive Director of the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council (WHORC) during President-elect Trump’s first term. Collaborating with former HUD Secretary Ben Carson, Scott oversaw 16 Federal Agencies in implementing over 200 policy measure to advance economic development.

Following his NFL football career, Turner transitioned into politics and won a State House race in his home state of Texas. He is now the CEO of his family’s foundation, Community Engagement & Opportunity Council (COC), which aims to rejuvenate communities across the country through initiatives centered around sports, mentorship, and economic empowerment.
