Eva helps communities leverage data to understand local needs and design evidence-based solutions to challenges in housing and urban development.

 

Eva’s expertise lies at the intersection of data science, urban planning and program evaluation. She has worked on a broad array of issues, such as affordable housing, anti-displacement policy, workforce development, emergency rental assistance, and office to housing conversion.

Prior to joining HR&A, Eva was a Senior Data Analyst at Enterprise Community Partners where she designed and evaluated housing and community development strategies across the country. As a graduate student she worked at the NYU Furman Center, studying program and policy interventions to promote renter stability and prevent eviction, and was an HR&A Summer Fellow. Before moving to New York, Eva designed shared mobility programs at the City of Oakland Department of Transportation, with a focus on increasing accessibility. She also served as a Research Manager at UC Berkeley’s Urban Displacement Project where she developed models to understand changing housing markets and predict residential and commercial displacement risk.
