The Office of Congressional Relations is responsible for the management and coordination of all matters involving Congress. It oversees the presentation of the Department’s legislative and budget program to Congress, and monitors and addresses HUD-related activities under the purview of Congressional oversight, authorizing and appropriations committees. It is the principal advocate before Congress for HUD’s legislative initiatives and other legislative interests, and is responsible for ensuring that all testimony and responses to Congressional inquiries are consistent with the Secretary’s and the Administration’s views.
