Breakdown in Reduction

As HUD does not own any real property, the agency’s ability to reduce its Real Property costs is limited. HUD’s offices are located nationwide based on its mission requirements. Wherever possible HUD is taking steps to reduce the amount of space it occupies across the country, thereby reducing leased rental costs.
