Alisha Senter

Alisha Senter serves as a key procurement professional within California State Grants, supporting the agency’s mission to advance public welfare through strategic investments in community infrastructure and environmental resilience. Though her official title is not listed, her role centers on managing the full lifecycle of construction-related acquisitions, particularly those aligned with new residential development. She ensures compliance with state and federal procurement regulations while advancing the agency’s goals of sustainable urban planning and housing equity. Her acquisitions predominantly involve design-build and fixed-price contracts for single-family and multifamily housing projects, requiring close coordination with architects, engineers, and general contractors to meet environmental and accessibility standards. Senter’s contractor relationships are primarily with firms specializing in new housing construction, including regional general contractors and specialty trade subcontractors experienced in California’s building codes and climate-resilient design practices. While no specific vendor partnerships are identified, her procurement pattern suggests consistent engagement with contractors possessing proven track records in residential development, particularly those familiar with state-funded affordable housing initiatives and green building standards such as CALGreen and Title 24 compliance. Senter’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her approach prioritizes technical capability and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with the agency’s emphasis on scalable, high-impact housing solutions. Her primary industry focus is on NAICS 236117—New Housing For-Sale Builders—indicating deep expertise in single-family and townhome construction for public-private housing initiatives. She procures turnkey residential developments, including site preparation, utility integration, and compliance with state-mandated affordability requirements, demonstrating specialized knowledge in housing finance mechanisms and regulatory frameworks governing state-subsidized construction.
