That role falls mainly on the shoulders of HUD Deputy Secretary Pamela Hughes Patenaude. In this, the second episode of our exclusive podcast series, 6 Questions with 6 HUD Executives, Editor-in-Chief Jacob Gaffney speaks with Patenaude about disaster recovery, the impact of the opioid epidemic and the interconnected nature of the nation's housing policy.
