The President.
The largest subunits of the federal executive branch are called departments. The head of the departments is called the secretary.
The term for the departments and workers that make up the federal government is civilian employee. A civilian employee is any individual that works for the federal government, but is not affiliated with the military.

HUD, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, is one of the Cabinet Departments in the executive branch of the U.S. federal government, and the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development is one of the fifteen primary Cabinet positions. Therefore, their actions are no more a scam than anything else the executive branch of the U.S. federal government does.
Federal bureaucracies are comprised of national government offices, agencies and institutions from all three branches of the legislative, executive and judicial. These include congressional offices, Cabinet departments/Agencies (FBI, IRS, Health and Human Services, Veterans Affairs, etc.), and even the Courts are all part of this intricate federal bureaucracy.
