HUD Secretary Ben Carson Touring Florida

Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson's tour of Florida brings him to West Palm Beach today.

He's set to tour multiple affordable housing projects including the ribbon cutting of the Home at Tamarind housing development.

Secretary Carson says public housing authorities and indigent centers have also stepped up to help testing and monitoring.

Minorities in public housing have been hit hard by the coronavirus.

Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson admits they have more conditions like hypertension and diabetes and thus are dying at a higher rate from COVID-19.

He says we need utilize public-private partnerships to revitalize neighborhoods.

He also believes in EnVision Centers where resources are brought together under one roof to help the community.

On Friday Carson visited an Opportunity Zone in Tampa and a HUD EnVision Center in Orlando.
