By Ben Lane, Housingwire

Julián Castro is no longer the mayor of San Antonio. He is now the Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development after being sworn in on Monday by Chief Judge Richard Roberts of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.

Castro takes over for former HUD secretary Shaun Donovan, who vacated the position to become the Director of Office of Management and Budget.

President Barack Obama nominated both men for their new positions in May. During the ceremony, President Obama called Castro an “all-star” and expressed his confidence in Castro’s ability to lead HUD in the waning years of Obama’s administration.
