We improved housing for America's diplomats and families through our Diplomatic Residential Initiative. 3 build-to-lease residential projects are underway at hardship posts, with another five in planning or design. #TakingCareofOurPeople

Security also means secure facilities. Our new embassies are top-of-the-line. Resilient. Efficient. Water and energy-saving technologies…the next generation of U.S. embassies will be models for the world.

When a U.S. Embassy or Consulate closes, members of the @StateDeptDSS regional security office are the last to leave. They stayed to secure the mission and information at Embassy Caracas in 2019, and U.S. Consulate Chengdu in 2020. #UnsungHeroes
When the security situation in Caracas, Venezuela began to deteriorate, @StateDept ordered the departure of U.S. govt personnel & their families from the U.S. embassy. DSS made sure sure it is done right & that everything was locked up tight. Read how: ow.ly/Xp5j50vr9iC
