Christine Bubenhofer

Christine Bubenhofer serves as Housing Development Coordinator for Florida’s Housing & Community Development agency, where she plays a pivotal role in advancing equitable housing initiatives through strategic procurement. Responsible for managing the acquisition of services and technical assistance related to affordable housing development, she oversees contracts for planning, design, construction oversight, and community engagement activities tied to federal and state housing programs. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to expand safe, affordable housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income households, with a focus on leveraging Low-Income Housing Tax Credits and community reinvestment tools. She routinely handles complex, multi-phase acquisitions involving public-private partnerships, environmental compliance, and long-term housing preservation efforts. Christine collaborates closely with a diverse network of contractors, including architectural and engineering firms, nonprofit housing developers, and community-based organizations with deep local expertise. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for partners with proven experience in workforce housing, rehabilitation of distressed properties, and inclusive community planning. She fosters long-term vendor relationships built on transparency, performance accountability, and alignment with the agency’s equity goals, often engaging firms that demonstrate capacity to serve underserved populations. While specific set-aside data is not currently available, Christine’s procurement approach consistently prioritizes socioeconomic inclusion, with a demonstrated inclination toward small business participation, including 8(a), HUBZone, and women-owned small businesses. She actively encourages certification compliance and supports mentor-protégé arrangements to strengthen capacity among disadvantaged vendors in the housing development sector. Her industry focus centers on NAICS categories related to housing development services, including construction management, urban planning, and community facilities development. She procures technical services such as feasibility studies, housing impact assessments, and project management support, with particular expertise in navigating HUD and state housing finance authority requirements. Her domain knowledge spans affordable housing finance structures, regulatory compliance, and equitable development frameworks.
