Bakgrund

Huvudartikel: USA:s bostadsminister

Såväl departementet som befattningen som USA:s bostadsminister (engelska: Secretary of Housing and Urban Development) inrättades den 9 september 1965 då USA:s president Lyndon B. Johnson undertecknade lagförslaget som därefter trädde i kraft som "Department of Housing and Urban Development Act".^[1] Bostadsministern ingår av tradition i kabinettet och utses av presidenten med sentens "råd och samtycke" (dvs godkännande).^[2]

USA:s första bostadsminister och chef för departementet var Robert C. Weaver, som innehade ämbetet från januari 1966 till december 1968 och som även var den förste afroamerikanen att ingå i presidentens kabinett.^[3]

To support this requirement of sound development, Congress established "an executive department to be known as the Department of Housing and Urban Development [HUD]" (79 Stat. 667).”
