Her work in public safety extends beyond enforcement -- creating safer neighborhoods by investing in after-school programs, neighborhood partnerships, and community trust.

As Chair of Housing and Community Affairs under two mayoral administrations, Thomas has been at the forefront of housing affordability and investment championing policy reforms and mobilizing millions in disaster recovery dollars for homeowners affected by Winter Storm Uri in 2021 and Houston’s rent relief program which gained national attention during the COVID-19 global pandemic in 2020. Her signature initiatives include the Inaugural Faith & Affordable Housing Summit—bridging the gap between faith institutions and development partners—and community education around heirs' property, ensuring generational land retention in historically Black and Brown communities.

With a powerful ability to convene multiracial, multiethnic, and intergenerational coalitions, Thomas leads with both policy insight and cultural fluency. Her community meetings, summits, and public activations aren’t just events -- they’re organizing moments that shape Houston’s future.
