Julian Castro: ConnectHome: Support affordable housing

As HUD Secretary, one of Castro's main project included ConnectHome--an initiative that brought internet accessibility to those who lived in HUD-assisted housing in 28 communities.

In 2016, HUD launched a fund that provided $173 million in grants to create affordable housing. He also put in practice the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule, which required cities that receive federal money to examine potential biases in housing opportunities, per CNBC.
