Brooke Boston, who has served as Deputy Director for Programs at the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs for more than eight years, is stepping down to take a position as Deputy Director for the City of Austin’s Neighborhood Housing and Community Development Office.
Brooke is a remarkably competent, dedicated and highly effective government housing official. I wish her well in her new job with the City of Austin.
Tom Gouris will be the Acting Deputy Director for Programs. Tom is also a dedicated and highly competent housing professional and I have confidence that the state housing agency will continue to operate well.
A huge loss for the Department. She has done a fantastic job over the last 8 years and I am proud to have served with her and watch her grow. Best of luck in the future….Austin’s gain is the State’s loss.
