HUD's mission includes expanding opportunities for home ownership and what else?

• A. Affordable rental housing
• B. Commercial development
• C. Export housing materials
• D. Disaster relief housing

Answer: (A)

HUD’s mission focuses on making safe, decent, and affordable housing available to people while promoting stable, inclusive communities. Expanding opportunities for home ownership goes hand in hand with providing affordable rental housing, ensuring that both would-be buyers and renters have real paths to quality housing. Affordable rental housing supports those who cannot or choose not to buy, through programs like public housing and rental assistance, which broadens access and helps reduce housing segregation. Other choices—such as commercial development, exporting housing materials, or disaster-relief housing—aren’t central to HUD’s core role, which is housing and urban development for people rather than these broader or unrelated areas.
