Guam Housing and Urban Renewal Authority Executive Director Ray S. Topasna has passed away. Topasna had been at the helm of GHURA since 2019.

Governor Lou Leon Guerrero issued a statement following the sudden loss. "He dedicated his life to ensure Guam’s families had a roof over their heads and that stable housing on our island was a staple, instead of a systemic challenge.“ Lt. Governor Joshua Tenorio added, "Today marks a great loss for Guam."

Topasna is survived by his wife Audrey, and their children.
