She manages the full lifecycle of professional services contracts, with a focus on securing expertise in housing policy analysis, real estate appraisal, title settlement services, and administrative modernization. Her work directly supports HUD’s mission to strengthen underwriting frameworks, enhance housing insecurity research, and improve data-driven decision-making across federal housing programs. Elisa specializes in complex, high-integrity procurements requiring deep subject-matter expertise and strict adherence to federal acquisition regulations. Elisa cultivates strategic partnerships with a diverse range of professional service providers, including title abstract and settlement firms, real estate appraisers, and technical consultants specializing in housing policy and data analytics. She consistently engages with small and mid-sized firms capable of delivering specialized, mission-critical services under tight compliance standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes collaboration, transparency, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor relationships built on accountability and regulatory alignment. A strong advocate for socioeconomic inclusion, Elisa prioritizes small business participation, with over 63% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively leverages Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides and ensures compliance with all applicable socioeconomic programs. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for underrepresented firms while maintaining rigorous standards for technical capability and delivery.
