The mission of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is to create strong, sustainable, inclusive communities and quality affordable homes for all. HUD programs provide supports for youth and their families, as youth are a large proportion of the residents of public housing developments. HUD also houses the Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD) and the Office of Public and Indian Housing.
