Lizzie has been exploring creative solutions to complex social challenges throughout her career. As the Principal Consultant and Owner of Goddard Consulting, she brings her direct experience of building a Property Engagement Collective in her native Nashville. In her time organizing property engagement efforts in Nashville, she facilitated a 40% increase in housing inventory in her first 6 months, negotiating lowered housing barriers across all participating units. Since then, Lizzie has supported more than 15 Continuums of Care, municipalities, and organizations across the country to create stronger systems.

Lizzie has gathered a diverse set of skills from her years of international work in Greece where she organized refugee aid in response to the European refugee crisis, as well as supporting the housing needs of newly arrived refugees in the States. She landed in the broader housing response system and has found deep meaning and motivation in her goal of creating a more efficient, compassionate system for those in crisis. She has a B.A. in psychology and an M.A. in emergency management and community resilience.

Lizzie believes change moves at the speed of trust and is honored to support communities in deepening their collaboration to reduce duplication and expand access to affordable housing at a systems level.
