President Trump announced his intention to nominate Dana Wade as assistant secretary for housing and Federal Housing Administration (FHA) commissioner. Ms. Wade was previously the acting Federal Housing commissioner and assistant secretary for housing from July 2017 to June 2018. In this capacity, she implemented enhanced risk management and monitoring of the Federal Housing Agency’s $1.3 trillion portfolio. Ms. Wade also served as a program associate director for general government at the Office of Management and Budget from December 2018 to December 2019, where she led budget oversight for six executive branch agencies with a focus on financial services, including HUD and multiple independent agencies. She has also served as the deputy staff director for the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Development and the Republican deputy staff director for the Senate Committee on Appropriations under Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL).
