Affordable housing compliance director at Harris County Housing and Community Development who closed a $20M+ compliance backlog.

United States
Message

At Harris County Housing and Community Development, I directed compliance reviews for multifamily LIHTC developments and authored the county's LIHTC compliance policy, evaluation framework, and procedures. I implemented quality-control structures that kept records audit-ready with zero findings and resolved a $20M+ compliance backlog through data analysis and negotiated corrective action.

At the City of Houston, Housing and Community Development, I led compliance across CDBG, HOME, and CDBG-DR programs, establishing quality-control sampling that produced a fully cleared 2019 HUD audit with zero findings. I also managed a $20M annual budget and oversaw eligibility determinations for 250+ households.

Earlier at the City of Houston, I led procurement and implementation of the OnBase enterprise content management system, moving records to electronic review and storage. I also audited certified payroll and contractor documentation for Davis-Bacon compliance on federally funded projects.
