A new help center for HUD

Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — The US Department of Housing and Urban Development is opening a help center in Albuquerque, giving greater access to HUD services by phone. Regional Administrator Candace Valenzuela says the agency has a special focus on who will be manning the phones. The new call center should be up and running in about a month in the HUD office in Albuquerque’s Federal Building. A couple dozen people are expected to be hired to answer calls from all over the country.
