Bruce Charles Savage (30 July 1906 – 4 February 1993) was the (PHA) Commissioner under President Dwight D. Eisenhower, serving from 1960 to 1961. In 1965, under President Lyndon B. Johnson, the PHA became the present-day United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). A moderate Rockefeller Republican, Savage 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. 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.
