EnglishHow HUD.gov Is Organized for Americans, HUD Partners, and Researchers
Updated
HUD.gov's homepage is organized by audience first: Helping Americans, HUD Partners, and Researchers each have their own section, with News and Opportunity Zones as separate topic areas. If you know which group you belong to, start with that section rather than searching the whole site. The page also offers a "Stay In the Know" email sign-up for HUD updates.
The three audience sections
The homepage groups its main content under three audience headings. Each one is a starting point for the information and resources that fit that group.
| Section | Who it's for | What you'll find there |
|---|---|---|
| Helping Americans | Individuals and households looking for HUD-related help and information | Entry points to the information HUD provides for the public |
| HUD Partners | Organizations and entities that work with HUD | Resources for partners working alongside the department |
| Researchers | People who study housing and community data | Research-oriented information and resources |
The homepage itself does not spell out every link inside each section. To see what a section actually contains, open it and browse its subpages.
News and Opportunity Zones
Two further blocks sit alongside the audience sections:
- News — dated announcements from HUD. Recent items shown on the homepage include arrests of nearly 500 fraudsters and fugitives (October 8, 2026), the Next Generation Housing Action Plan (October 7, 2026), and a Wall Street Journal item on a regulator probe of Wells Fargo (October 7, 2026). Use this section if you want official announcements rather than program information.
- Opportunity Zones — a topic area built around reinvestment in communities. The homepage quotes Secretary Scott Turner describing Opportunity Zones as central to the President's economic vision and "the cornerstone of Opportunity Zones," with a "Learn More" link leading to further material.
How to choose your starting point
- Decide your role. Are you an individual seeking housing-related information, an organization that works with HUD, or a researcher? That answer picks your section.
- Open that section from the homepage and follow its links to the specific program or resource you need.
- Check News if you need current announcements rather than standing program information.
- Use the sign-up at the bottom of the page ("Stay In the Know") if you want HUD updates delivered to you instead of checking back.
A common snag: the homepage gives section names and headlines but not a full site map, so if a specific program isn't visible from the section landing page, move to the site's search or navigation rather than assuming the resource doesn't exist.
