Houston City Council

District F

Council Member Tiffany D. Thomas

Tiffany Thomas Re-elected in 2024, Council Member Tiffany D. Thomas is a dynamic public servant and coalition builder serving as the first woman Houston City Council Member for District F — home to one of the most diverse populations in the city and state. Known for her people-centered approach and fearless policy execution, Thomas is redefining local governance through clarity, courage and community trust.

Since taking office, Council Member Thomas has delivered measurable changes across public infrastructure, affordable housing, homelessness, public safety, and disaster preparedness. She has spearheaded the installation of new streetlights in dark corridors and allocated resources to clean up blight and illegal dumping in underserved neighborhoods. Her work in public safety extends beyond enforcement — creating safer neighborhoods by investing in after-school programs, neighborhood partnerships, and community trust, while championing vital district assets like the award-winning, $60 million Alief Neighborhood Center.

As Chair of the Housing and Affordability Committee 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.

Notably in August 2025, Council Member Thomas successfully championed the Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery 2024 (CDBG-DR24) amendment, securing a historic shift from $0 to $100 million in disaster recovery housing funds across the city following the 2024 Derecho and Hurricane Beryl. A recognized voice on community development, she has published an op-ed in the Houston Chronicle outlining a strategic path forward for the city's affordable housing and homelessness continuums, and in the National League of Cities’ CitieSpeak blog on U.S. Cities’ role in affordable housing.

Her signature initiatives include the annual Faith & Affordable Housing Summit — bridging the gap between faith institutions and development partners—community education around heirs' property to ensure generational land retention in historically Black and Brown communities, and the inaugural Mobile Care Day, which provides dignified, wraparound support for the unhoused on Houston’s west side. This commitment to place-based outreach serves as a model for city leaders nationwide.

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 are organizing moments that shape Houston’s future.

Beyond City Hall, Thomas connects research to action as an Associate Professor of Community Development at Prairie View A&M University—the same institution where she earned her master’s degree, following a Bachelor of Arts from Sam Houston State University

Council Member Thomas is a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, a National Social Action Chair for The Links, Incorporated, a 2025 Local Elected Unum Fellow, a graduate of Leadership Houston XXXI and American Leadership Forum XLIV, a leader on America’s Housing Comeback Taskforce with the National League of Cities, and the Community Development Society.

Council Member Thomas is not only shaping the city of Houston but she’s also shaping what leadership looks like for the next generation of public service.
