The U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) announced that the agency’s “small” office in Syracuse will close “early” in fiscal year 2014, which begins in October.

America has changed, communities have changed and we must change.”
HUD will retain large offices in Buffalo, Albany, and New York City.
