The Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Multifamily Housing is implementing a new model that will consolidate its offices into five primary regions. This transformation is now complete in the Southeast Region. The Regional Center in Atlanta and Regional Satellite Office in Jacksonville hosted kick-off events in celebration of the launch.

Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Housing Ed Golding, Multifamily Housing Deputy Assistant Secretary Ben Metcalf, and new Multifamily Southeast Regional Director Ruben Brooks attended the kick-off events. They invited stakeholders to meet with the regional leadership team and to engage them with questions about the new Multifamily structure and business model.

HUD implemented the transition with intent of allowing Multifamily to provide better customer service, operate more efficiently and consistently, and improve risk management.

The Southeast Region is the third of the five new Multifamily regions, nationwide. In March, Multifamily introduced its new Midwest Region, which has its Regional Center in Chicago and Satellite offices in Detroit, Minneapolis. Multifamily expects to introduce its new Northeast Region in March.
