Adrianne Todman was confirmed as deputy secretary of HUD by a voice vote in the Senate on June 10. Ms. Todman brings years of housing and community development experience from her extensive career in the field, most recently as CEO of the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO). Before joining NAHRO in 2017, she served as executive director of the District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA). Ms. Todman has also served in various career positions at HUD, first as a manager of a $500 million grant competition focused on the redevelopment of distressed public housing sites, then as a policy aide in both the Office of Public and Indian Housing and the Office of the Secretary. Ms. Todman will be the first Black woman to serve as deputy secretary of HUD.
NLIHC congratulates Adrianne Todman on her confirmation as deputy secretary. She will help lead HUD during a crucial time filled with historic challenges. The coronavirus pandemic has caused extraordinary hardship for the nation’s lowest-income renters and people experiencing homelessness. NLIHC looks forward to working closely with Deputy Secretary Todman to end homelessness and housing poverty in America.
