“NAHB applauds the Senate confirmation of Dana Wade as the new FHA commissioner. Having served as acting FHA commissioner from July 2017 to June 2018, she brings valuable experience to the job and understands the challenges confronting home buyers, renters and home builders stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic.
