Dr S.

The following communication is a letter from Secretary Ben Carson to HUD Employees. The key message is to inform HUD employees that any changes being made to HUDs mission statement are to make it more concise, and to ensure equality and non-discrimination in housing. This is in response to false media reports to the contrary.

It is effective first, because of Secretary Carson’s position and the respect that he has earned from the majority of citizens regardless of political party. He begins by stating the problem of false statements by the media. He then reviews the mission statement of HUD and how it has been updated in 2003 and 2010, as it will be again in 2018. He closes by quoting President Johnson, who signed the Fair Housing Act into Law in 1968, as a reminder of its importance and his agreement to upholding it. 

This organization brings listeners and readers through a chronological understanding of his commitment to fair housing. Including the actual mission statement and quote by President Johnson shares the passion of initiators of Fair Housing and draws the audience in.

Secretary Ben Carson’s open letter to HUD Employees

Dear Colleagues,

By now, many of you may have read media accounts indicating that we’ve changed HUD’s mission statement and that these changes signal some sort of retreat from our legal and rightful role in protecting Americans from housing discrimination. It’s not enough that I merely assert these news reports are patently false; it’s necessary that I personally address them and reassure you, the HUD family, that nothing could be further from the truth.

First, some background. HUD’s current mission statement reads: “HUD’s mission is to create strong, sustainable, inclusive communities and quality affordable homes for all. HUD is working to strengthen the housing market to bolster the economy and protect consumers; meet the need for quality affordable rental homes; utilize housing as a platform for improving quality of life; build inclusive and sustainable communities free from discrimination, and transform the way HUD does business.”

A bit wordy perhaps but I agree with every word. The Department’s mission statement has changed from time to time to capture the dynamic nature of our work. It changed in 2003 and again in 2010. Now, in 2018, we are considering another change to our mission statement and are seeking comments and ideas from our senior staff. But the notion that any new mission statement would reflect a lack of commitment to fair housing is nonsense.  Yesterday, we issued a public statement to correct the record.

“As in previous Administrations, HUD is considering modest changes to the Department’s mission statement to make it a more clear and concise expression of the historic work this agency performs on behalf of the American people. You can be sure of one thing—any mission statement for this Department will embody the principle of fairness as a central element of everything that we do. HUD has been, is now, and will always be committed to ensuring inclusive housing, free from discrimination for all Americans.”

Next month, we will mark the 50th Anniversary of the Fair Housing Act. In signing that landmark bill into law, President Johnson said, “Fair Housing for all, all human beings who live in this country, is now a part of the American way of life.”  I believe that and I know you do too. The ideals of that law, and our continuing work to support them, are really quite simple—fair is fair.

Thank you for all you do to give meaning and substance to our mission.

Sincerely,

Secretary Ben Carson
