The Puerto Rico Department of Housing (Spanish: Departamento de Vivienda de Puerto Rico) is the department responsible for homeownership, affordable housing, and community assistance programs in Puerto Rico. It was created in 1972.[1]
The agency is tasked with managing HUD funds including for housing under Section 8 (housing).[2][3] The agency also administers Community Development Block Grants (CDBG-DR) used for building housing for those affected by natural disasters.[4][5]
In 2021, governor Pedro Pierluisi designated William Rodríguez Rodríguez as the new secretary of the department.[6]
