FBI agents raid South Bend Housing Authority offices

Neil Vigdor

FBI agents raided the offices of the Housing Authority of South Bend, Indiana, on Wednesday, the second potential distraction back home for the presidential campaign of the city’s mayor, Pete Buttigieg.


No one was arrested during the raid, in which evidence collection teams visited the housing authority’s headquarters on Alonzo Watson Drive at about 1 p.m. with a police officer and U.S. government trucks.

The agency, which runs nine low-income housing facilities in South Bend and is financed by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development, has been beleaguered by complaints of financial mismanagement for much of the decade.

Such concerns prompted Buttigieg to replace all six commissioners on the housing authority’s board in 2015.

Buttigieg, 37, distanced himself from the agency in a statement issued by the mayor’s office, which emphasized that the housing authority is an autonomous entity.

“Earlier today the mayor’s office became aware through local media reports of today’s law enforcement action at the Housing Authority,” Buttigieg’s statement said. “While the Housing Authority is not part of the city administration, the mayor is concerned and will be closely following the situation.”

In June, Buttigieg briefly left the campaign trail after a fatal shooting of a black man in South Bend by a white police officer, which sparked protests in the city of just more than 100,000 people.
