“…the DOGE operative installed at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Christopher Sweet, is an undergraduate with no government experience. He is using artificial intelligence to comb through the agency’s rules and regulations… …such work is redundant: officials created the rules only after “a multi-year multi-stakeholder meatgrinder.””

#christophersweet #sweet #hud #ai
A young man with no govt experience is working for Musk’s #DOGE at #HUD & has been tasked with using #AI to rewrite the agency’s rules & regs.
Sweet’s primary role appears to be leading an effort to
leverage AI to review HUD’s regs, compare them to the laws on which they're based, & identify areas where rules can be relaxed or removed altogether. *Also been given read access to HUD's data repository on public housing, & its enterprise income VER systems.

…the expected overhaul would most likely amount to more than just a technical change, resulting in fewer federal dollars for #LowIncome #families on top of additional cuts planned for the rest of the Dept of #Housing & Urban Development [#HUD]. On Thurs, the #Trump admin took the first steps toward potentially selling the agency’s HQ in Washington.

At the Dept of Housing & Urban Development [#HUD], for example, ofcls are working on a rule that would #ban mixed-status households[
] — in which some family members have legal status & others don’t—from public #housing, acc/to multiple staffers…. Affiliates from #DOGE are also looking to kick out existing mixed-status households, vowing to ensure that undocumented immigrants do not benefit from public programs, even if they live w/ #citizens or other eligible family members.
Another #DOGE debacle- they froze money to upgrade hundreds of aging affordable housing properties around the country. Here’s what that means for people at one of them.

" #DOGE has cut funds & programs across the federal #government without regard to the purposes they serve or the lives that depend on them. Many of the people who depend on this #HUD program are low-income #seniors or destitute #families who have little or no other options."

WIRED · DOGE Staffers at HUD Are From an AI Real Estate Firm and a Mobile Home Operator
"On February 10, employees at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) received an email asking them to list every contract at the bureau and note whether or not it was “critical” to the agency, as well as whether it contained any DEI components. This email was signed by Scott Langmack, who identified himself as a senior adviser to the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Langmack, according to his LinkedIn, already has another job: He’s the chief operating officer of Kukun, a property technology company that is, according to its website, “on a long-term mission to aggregate the hardest to find data.”
As is the case with other DOGE operatives—Tom Krause, for example, is performing the duties of the fiscal assistant secretary at the Treasury while holding down a day job as a software CEO at a company with millions in contracts with the Treasury—this could potentially create a conflict of interest, especially given a specific aspect of his role: According to sources and government documents reviewed by WIRED, Langmack has application-level access to some of the most critical and sensitive systems inside HUD, one of which contains records mapping billions of dollars in expenditures."
