The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced several leadership appointments. Under the direction of HUD Secretary Scott Turner, Jonathan “Drew” McCall, Todd Thurman and Reid Wilson will serve in critical senior-level roles ensuring HUD carries out its renewed mission to foster strong communities by increasing access to quality, affordable housing and expanding housing supply.

These appointments follow the swearing-in of Andrew Hughes, former HUD chief of staff, as deputy secretary.

Drew McCall will serve as HUD’s chief of staff. In this role, he will oversee internal operations and collaboration to ensure HUD continues to serve rural, tribal and urban communities at the highest standard. McCall most recently served as deputy chief of staff to Turner. During the first Trump administration, McCall served as deputy chief of staff to Ben Carson, the 17th secretary of HUD.

Todd Thurman, former senior advisor to Turner, and Reid Wilson, former HUD White House liaison, will now serve as deputy chiefs of staff, coordinating cross-agency priorities and leading the execution of daily functions. Both Thurman and Wilson also served under Carson.

“Our robust team at HUD is stronger than ever,” Turner said. “Drew, Todd, and Reid have proven track records of exceptional public service. Their devotion to the mission of HUD and innovative skills will help us maximize our operations so we can better serve the Americans who depend on us.”
