Washington, DC, November 19, 2025 – David M. Dworkin, President and CEO of the National Housing Conference released the following statement in support of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee advancing key senior administration nominees for housing and financial services leadership positions out of committee:
“The National Housing Conference (NHC) applauds the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs for voting the nominations of Joseph Gormley to serve as President of Ginnie Mae, Travis Hill to serve as Chair of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and Frank Cassidy to serve as Assistant Secretary for Housing and Federal Housing Commissioner at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) out of committee.
Each of these nominees brings exceptional expertise, judgment, and commitment to the critical work of strengthening our nation’s housing and financial systems.
Joseph Gormley has demonstrated strong and steady leadership as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at Ginnie Mae during a period of substantial transition. His extensive experience at HUD and FHA reflects a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities in expanding access to affordable housing.
Travis Hill has shown thoughtful, principled leadership as Acting Chair of the FDIC and previously as Vice Chairman. His comprehensive knowledge of financial regulation and his experience across both the executive and legislative branches have earned him broad respect.
Frank Cassidy’s extensive background across multifamily housing, senior housing, healthcare facilities, and single-family finance has already proven invaluable in his role as Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for HUD’s Office of Housing and FHA. His practical expertise and steadfast leadership will continue to strengthen FHA’s mission to support affordable and sustainable homeownership and rental opportunities.
NHC is confident that each of these nominees will serve with integrity, skill, and dedication to the best interests of the American people. We urge the full Senate to take up these nominations without delay and confirm them as soon as possible.”
