Melanie Thompson
Senior Housing Consultant
For over 20 years, I’ve led and supported organizations across the country in designing housing systems that do more than shelter—they empower. I develop and implement strategic plans to advance affordable housing initiatives and maintain high-quality housing services.
Before joining TPMA, I held executive leadership roles within public housing authorities and non-profit housing development and property management organizations, where I developed extensive expertise in HUD regulatory compliance, financial and asset management, resident services and satisfaction, and organizational leadership, including staff supervision and development.
“I believe that safe, affordable housing is the foundation for thriving families and resilient communities.”
