- Planning and implementing neighborhood revitalization projects, such as the Bristol Place redevelopment.
- Managing affordable housing programs including Safety Home Repair, Home Accessibility Retrofit, and Accessibility Structure Demolition programs.
- Allocating CDBG funds to public services that aid youth and people experiencing homelessness.
- Operating the Vital Home Repair program, which offers significant home renovations for homeowners financially affected by COVID-19.
