Summary

  • Scott Langmack, a senior adviser at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has requested information on all HUD contracts as part of a push for supposedly “efficiency”-driven cuts at the department.
  • Langmack has application-level access to several sensitive HUD systems, including its banking system, which processes the vast majority of the department’s expenditures and is currently in excess of $100bn.
  • His company, Kukun, is a property technology firm that helps investors predict house price fluctuations and was accepted into an accelerator run by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) last year.
  • Another DOGE operative, Michael Mirski, works for TCC Management, a company that owns mobile home parks across the US and has access to several key HUD systems.
  • Hundreds of thousands of public housing tenants could be negatively affected by the cuts Trump is attempting to impose on HUD programs.
