Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson says he intends to leave his post at the end of President Trump's first term.
Trump appointed Carson, a retired neurosurgeon who gained notoriety for his pioneering surgery separating conjoined twins, to lead the department even though he lacked housing, executive or government experience. He ran an unsuccessful bid for president in 2016.Carson's two-year tenure got off to a rocky start after he allowed his son to help organize an agency “listening tour” in Baltimore despite warnings from department lawyers that doing so risked violating federal ethics rules.
Carson's signature EnVision Centers initiative has gone nowhere, without attracting much financial support from either the White House or private foundations. Carson had touted the centers as a way to help low-income families access employment, education and healthcare. But the concept has existed for decades, with limited success in moving families out of poverty, department staffers told the Post.
