Housing Subsidy Reform (PET + TCAP)

This portfolio presents an implementation-first housing subsidy reform proposal grounded in administrative feasibility, program integrity, and public finance discipline. The core mechanism—PET (Public Equity Transfer)— is paired with an acquisition pathway, TCAP, to reorient recurring subsidy expenditures toward durable housing stability through controlled conversion, auditability, and measurable performance outcomes. The approach is designed to withstand operational realities (eligibility, compliance, and interagency handoffs) while preserving the core public purpose of subsidy programs: stability, risk reduction, and continuity of housing.

I'm a New York City housing policy and implementation analyst with deep, on-the-ground tenant advocacy experience and a focus on translating reform concepts into executable agency workflows. My work sits at the intersection of subsidy governance, compliance design, and operational rollout—specifically: how eligibility rules, procurement and fiscal controls, data-sharing constraints, and legal authority shape what can actually launch and scale inside City government.

I've worked across housing advocacy and policy environments where the costs of administrative failure are not abstract: rent arrears, instability, preventable displacement, and expensive reactive systems. This portfolio is built to support decision-makers: clear mechanism, clear guardrails, and a practical path to a pilot that can be evaluated and governed.
