Tuesday Redmond

Tuesday Redmond serves as the CDBG Administrator for the Grants & Philanthropy agency under the City of Pontiac, Michigan, where she leads the strategic procurement of housing development services aligned with the HOME Investment Partnerships Act. In this primary role, she oversees the acquisition of construction and management consulting services aimed at expanding affordable, single-family housing for low- and moderate-income residents. Her procurement activities are centered on enabling community-based housing solutions through direct partnerships with Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) and qualified contractors, ensuring compliance with federal grant requirements and local revitalization goals. Redmond’s contractor relationships are primarily with general contractors specializing in new single-family residential construction and administrative management consultants who support program implementation, compliance reporting, and CHDO capacity building. She engages with vendors who demonstrate proven experience in affordable housing delivery, community engagement, and HUD-compliant project management. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her procurement approach prioritizes technical competence, local presence, and alignment with the agency’s mission-driven outcomes over large-scale corporate contracts. Redmond’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” She does not currently utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead focusing on merit-based selection grounded in capability, past performance, and alignment with affordable housing objectives. Her approach emphasizes equitable access to opportunities without socioeconomic targeting, ensuring resources are allocated based on project efficacy and community impact. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236115 for new single-family housing construction and NAICS 541611 for administrative and general management consulting services. She specializes in acquiring turnkey construction delivery, site development, and program administration support, demonstrating deep expertise in HUD-funded housing initiatives, CHDO collaboration, and the operational frameworks of federally assisted housing programs.
