HUD Secretary Scott Turner declares 'faith is back in our government' at the agency's first-ever faith-based disaster recovery event on the National Mall.
"These [faith-based] organizations are not just filling a gap. They are breathing new life into devastated communities, and HUD’s role is to strengthen their efforts with resources and support needed to recover," Secretary Turner concluded.

The event was held Sept. 6 beginning at 6:00 pm on the National Mall amid strong wind and rain. It featured speeches from faith leaders across the country before closing with worship led by Sean Feucht.
For Feucht, the night represented a dramatic turn. After years of clashing with left-leaning governments in cities like Seattle, he stood in Washington under an official invitation from HUD.
