Episode Synopsis "Ep. 5: Brian Montgomery, Former Deputy Secretary of HUD on Policymaking"

In the latest episode of On the Hill, Tim Rood, SitusAMC Head of Industry Relations, speaks with Brian Montgomery, former Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). They discuss the transition to the Biden administration, and myths, misconceptions, and facts about policy-making in Washington, D.C. What does the industry need to understand to influence the housing finance landscape? “If you’re looking to move the needle on a policy you’ve got a lot of moving parts,” Montgomery said, including whether the issue was a campaign promise, is a priority for a particular agency, or can achieve funding approval. “Be eyes wide open to the fact that it could be a very long process.”
