She has also managed the Traffic Administration Services Department since February 2022. Her primary focus is fulfilling our vision of going beyond Building Better Lives and Better Neighborhoods while inspiring her teams towards success.

Tracie brings over 30 years of public service experience to her role, including her work at another local public housing agency and as a public housing property manager.

Before becoming Chief of Programs, Tracie served as the Director of the Housing Assistance Division (HAD) since 2019.

Under her leadership, HAD received the nation's largest allocation of the Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing vouchers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Division received one of the largest allocations of Emergency Housing Vouchers made available through the American Rescue Plan. These vouchers were among the first allocations to be fully leased. Additionally, Tracie played a crucial role in developing, implementing, and leading several County emergency rent relief efforts that distributed more than $135 million to residential tenants and property owners, marking one of the largest deployments of rent relief nationally under CARES.

Tracie has demonstrated her effectiveness as a leader and partner in the County’s efforts to meet the needs of the unhoused population and other priority initiatives. She is well-respected in the housing industry and has shown talent for building connections within the County to align resources and collaborate on tackling complex social issues.
