Bruce Savage
Edit ProfileCareer
The Authority was soon expanded under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson and became the present-day Department of Housing and Urban Development (Housing and Urban Development). He was largely seen as a hands-on commissioner whose appointment was considered by others as an indication that Eisenhower was becoming serious about expanding public housing. Savage was born in Indianapolis and attended Indiana, Northwestern, and Butler universities.
The firm closed in 1984, following the death of his successor.
Savage was keenly aware of the needs of elderly housing and served on several related national, state, and local governmental and private groups. In addition, he served as the president of the Indianapolis Board of Realtors (1950) and the Greater Indianapolis Progress Commission (GIPC).
Politics
A moderate Rockefeller Republican, he sought to expand the services of national public housing at a time when public housing was limited in most areas and discouraged by many in both political parties.
