His housing platform is among the most progressive in the race, including historic commitments of $2 billion per year in city capital funds for public housing and another $2 billion for HPD to finance over 30,000 units of affordable housing per year. Donovan served under mayor Michael Bloomberg as Commissioner of Housing Preservation and Development ( HPD), then for the entirety of Barack Obama’s presidency as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development ( HUD) and then the Director of OMB. This time around, Donovan has arguably the most impressive resume of all the mayoral candidates-especially when it comes to housing, which is second only to crime and policing as the race’s top issue.
Donovan passed and remained in his role as President Obama’s budget director. In 2016, Shaun’s Donovan’s record looked so sterling that Bradley Tusk-the political fixer, venture capitalist, now the man behind Andrew Yang’s campaign-tried recruiting him to challenge Tusk’s nemesis, Bill de Blasio, in the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City.
