$1.9 billion was “misplaced” by the Biden administration, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) announced this week in detailing the startling discovery.
“$1.9 billion of HUD money was just recovered after being misplaced during the Biden administration due to a broken process,” DOGE revealed on X, posting screenshots of the receipts.
“These funds were earmarked for the administration of financial services, but were no longer needed. @SecretaryTurner and @DOGE worked together to fix the issue and de-obligated the funds which are now available for other use by the Treasury,” DOGE added.
The announcement comes on the heels of Turner announcing a DOGE task force at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
“I’m happy to announce the DOGE task force here at HUD,” Turner, who was confirmed by the Senate earlier this month, said in a video posted to X on February 13.
“We will be very detailed and deliberate about every dollar spent in serving tribal, rural, and urban communities across America,” he said.
“With President Trump’s leadership, business as usual, the status quo, is no longer the posture that we will take, and with the help of DOGE, we will identify and eliminate all waste, fraud and abuse,” he vowed. “We’ve already identified $260 million in savings and still have much more to accomplish.”
DOGE has continued to boast of more successes despite panic from Democrats, also announcing millions more in taxpayer savings in the form of a poem on Valentine’s Day.

“Roses are red, violets are blue, Today, DOGE and 10 agencies made 586 wasteful contracts bid adieu! With a ceiling value of $2.1B and $445M in savings secured, A perfect Valentine’s gift for all taxpayers—well-earned and deserved!” the poem reads.
“Today’s batch includes a $8.2M USDA contract for ‘environmental compliance services for the implementation of pilot projects developed under the partnership for climate smart commodities,’” it added, providing details.
DOGE also announced on Friday that a letter was sent to the departments of education in all 50 states, “notifying them they have 14 days to remove all DEI programming in all public schools.”
“Institutions which fail to comply may face a loss of federal funding,” DOGE warned, attaching the letter.

THE GATEWAY PUNDIT | Published February 16, 2025
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, announced on Friday the recovery of $1.9 billion in taxpayer funds that were misplaced during the Biden regime.
These funds, originally allocated to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for financial services administration, were identified as unnecessary due to procedural inefficiencies.
“$1.9 billion of HUD money was just recovered after being misplaced during the Biden administration due to a broken process,” the DOGE official page announced.
“These funds were earmarked for the administration of financial services, but were no longer needed. Secretary Scott Turner and DOGE worked together to fix the issue and de-obligated the funds which are now available for other use by the Treasury.”

According to the New York Post, “The contracts were earmarked for Carrington Mortgage Services and Selene Finance in August 2019 and would’ve paid out $751,221,224.87 and $836,689.235.84 to each company, respectively.”
“It is astounding how much taxpayer money can be saved with even a small amount of effort,” Elon Musk responded on this new discovery.

HUD Secretary Scott Turner collaborated closely with DOGE to address the issue, resulting in the de-obligation of the funds, which have now been returned to the U.S. Treasury for alternative uses.
This announcement came just a day after Secretary Turner established a DOGE task force within HUD to bolster financial oversight and efficiency.
“We will be very detailed and deliberate about every dollar spent in serving tribal, rural, and urban communities across America,” Secretary Turner stated in a video posted on X.
He also revealed that his team had identified an additional $260 million in potential savings earlier in the week.
I’m happy to announce the @DOGE Task Force at HUD.
We will identify and eliminate any waste, fraud, and abuse.
